But did you know you can save more energy by switching out your incandescent light bulbs for energy-efficient LED light bulbs. These can last up to 25 times longer and consume 75% less energy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Another simple tip to make your home greener is buying a smart&nbsp;power strip to plug your electronics. Using a smart&nbsp;power strip&nbsp;can drastically&nbsp;reduce&nbsp;your overall&nbsp;energy&nbsp;usage. They\u2019re designed to protect both your devices and your wallet by sensing when a device is in standby mode so they can cut off&nbsp;power&nbsp;and&nbsp;save energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A big energy saving tip is getting a programmable\/smart installed thermostat for your home. Heating and cooling costs make up the biggest portion on your energy bill, and this simple tool can help to manage the temperature of your home to <a href=\"https:\/\/allseasonsroof.co.uk\/what-is-energy-efficiency-and-how-to-improve-it-in-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make your home more energy efficien<\/a>t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A smart thermostat can allow you to create a temperature schedule, allowing you to minimize AC usage while you\u2019re at work, and have it cooler in the evenings when you\u2019re actually home. This way it uses less energy when you don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-9206de0 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block ugb--has-custom-content-width\"><style>.ugb-9206de0-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{border-radius:0px !important;background-color:#FEFEFE !important}.ugb-9206de0-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper:before{background-color:#FEFEFE !important}.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > h1,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > h2,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > h3,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > h4,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > h5,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > h6{color:#222222}.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > p,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > ol li,.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper > ul li{color:#222222}.ugb-9206de0.ugb-container > .ugb-inner-block{max-width:900px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper.ugb-container__content-wrapper{width:100% !important}.ugb-9206de0.ugb-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important}}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-9206de0 > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > *{padding-top:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-9206de0-wrapper ugb--shadow-0\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-9206de0-content-wrapper\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center ls-1 has-small-font-size\"><strong>IDEA TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Switch your cleaning products<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"655\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1.jpg\" alt=\"a picture of green home cleaning products\" class=\"wp-image-1314891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5-1-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Cleaning products are often contain chemicals that can may harm you and the environment.
