The experts are agreed that we cannot change things for the better without everyone's active participation. These changes need to start occurring, and each individual family needs to become more environmentally friendly. The kitchen area is a good starting point saving energy by going much more green.

While it may not taste as good, preparing food in the microwave as an alternative to in the oven will save you a packet of money. Possibly the realization that an oven uses 75% more energy will stimulate you to use the microwave more.

By cool drying or even air drying the dishes as opposed to heat drying them, you can add to the amount of money you save.
