Hello All,

Yes, we truly have Climate Change all around us as we look and see the snow flaring down and reports of more snow and freezing ice from our weatherman.

This brings me to the thought as I write on my blog, is how can I reduce the electricity I’m using.

One of the things to do is to cut off electrical appliances I’m not using or don’t need right now.

Right away, I cut off the Printer and the Air Purifier. The coffer pot cuts off by itself, but if it’s on for a while before auto shut-off, you can turn it off as soon as you get that one tea or two tea you want.

If you are working from home, you might forget to turn off your outside lights. We all can do our parts to save on electricity. Just doing one small thing from millions of people can ensure that the power grids don’t overload.

Computers and Routers can be turned off when not used or even when you are briefly moving away to do something else. While turning off appliances you’re not using, you just as well pull out the plug as electricity is still running through the lines many times.

You can save on electricity if you wear layered clothing.

So stay warm, stay safe, as extreme weather, command extreme measures.

Let’s not take electricity for granted, but to know that we can be a part of the solutions to sacrifice, and preserve for another day!
