If you don’t already have one or more under sink water filters, you probably are trying to clean your water in some other way. Sometimes people will buy disposable filters that go into the fridge, but these filters are very slow to work.  Another option for clean water is to buy large jugs of filtered water from a delivery service. Not only is this expensive, it is also highly inconvenient since you are held hostage by the schedule of the delivery man. Worse yet, you have to hang onto the huge empty plastic bottles for up to weeks at a time. Undercounter water filters take up very little space and are inexpensive over the long haul; in the end, they are just more convenient. We got ours at Better Water Store .

The second tip falls into a totally different category and requires more financial outlay to get going but makes more energy savings on a daily basis. One of the best ways to keep electricity and/or heating costs down in your home is to research alternative energy sources. A popular renewable energy resource is solar power, and many people are taking the plunge to convert to solar energy by installing, when they can find them, cheap solar panels on their homes. Although the initial costs may be prohibitive to some the saving of traditional natural resources makes it a green choice for the planet.
