I do all 7, but I suggest growing your own fruits and veggies. I started with a peach te that ended up dying on me. Now I have lemons, bananas, oranges, aloe vera, tomatoes, jalapenos, loquat, mangos and avocados (these last three trees are treated like the most fragile things I own) I recommend that more than those plants.

Eco friendly and cut costs are two different things. Many of these were leaning towards reducing your bill and didn't really matter ecologically given the reasoning provided

I don't understand this obsession with dryers. I have three kids and I have a drying rack. All tshirts/shirts go on hangers, hung on the drying rack, underwear and socks on the bottom rack. It's all dry by the next morning. Sheets and towels go on a bigger rack which, if the weather is nice, goes on the balcony, and if it's not, goes up in a bedroom for the day. Hang sheets in the morning, they're dry by the evening. I haven't used a dryer since 2000 when I was living in the US.

Don't turn down your water heater! It has to be at a 140°f or 60°C in order to prevent harmfull bacteria!

Justo hoy salio en las noticias que el lavarropas no elimina las bacterias y hongos, que lo recomendable es lavar a mas de 60°, y desinfectar el lavarropas, aunque yo nunca lave mi ropa con agua caliente, siempre fue agua fría. Si alguien sabe mas del tema y sabe de alguna solucion antes que usar agua caliente en los lavados me avisa uwu

Absolutely do NOT wash your laundry cold. Especially stuff like towels, underwear and rags. It won't kill the bacteria unless you wash at 90°C

With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.

LED-s aren't ECO friendly. It's cheaper for you to use them, but that's as good a it gets. The semiconductor technology behind LED-s and other similar products ( regular diodes, comp chips, solar panels, etc.) is super harmful to the environment

#1 “switch to led”: screws in a CFL bulb *rolls eyes*

Honestly why do people need lights why can't they live without them I do live without mine I just use the light that comes in my window and at night time I just have my phone light from the screen and that's all I need
