how to lower your use of electricity

These are a few tips on how to use less energy

Step 1: How much tv you actually watch

Although this is narrowing down on one thing, try to cut down on the amount of tv you watch.

This is an average amount of time at the tv. For some people it is more, and other people are less.

Most people come home from work, turn tv on, and spend the rest of the day watching tv.

Because most people watch tv all day, it is using electricity. So try to cut down on your tv time.

Also, the average person spend over 9 YEARS solid watching tv. Those are full 24 hour days. This is also including you, if you like to watch tv. Cut back on tv time, you save part of your life, and use less electricity. if you stop watching tv, you can find tons of other things to do.

-go to the park with your family
-hang out with your friends
-build a model airplane(that's what I would do)

This project looks awesome but there isn't enough documentation of you actually making it to be a full Instructable. There are two things which you could do. 1) If you happen to have images of you making your project you can create some more steps, add those additional photos into your Instructable and then republish your Instructable. 2) If you don't have any more pictures of you working on your project, that's ok too. That just means that your project is better suited to be submitted as a slideshow. Your images are already in your library, and you can use the same text that you have already written for your Instructable so it should only take a few minutes to create your slideshow and show the world what you made! Thanks for your submission and let me know if you have any questions along the way.

Dropping then water tempeture of your hot water system sounds good but the tempeture needs to be realy hot so that germs and bacteria does not grow.
The rest sounds good.

Make you kids wear socks or slippers when they watch TV so the heater can be set lower ; - )

I'm not being critical or anything but just telling people to cut down on TV and recycle isn't really an Instructable. I mean, it's helpful telling people to be more green of course but as some people said, it's more of a lecture. I still completely agree with what you're saying though, this could still definitely help our environment.

got my vot

Not to be mean, but this is not much of an instructable. It is stating the common knowledge that using the tv uses energy.

One person said it looked like a lecture, and in some ways you are right. On the other hand, not everybody realizes how much tv they actually watch. I didn't know until a few years ago, and after that, I hardly watch tv any more.

Cutting on computer would work too. Computers use ssssssoooo much macho energy.

[Radioactive_Legos]

But if people stopped using their computer, Instructables be no more! And that would suck. Seriously. Instructables FTW.

You don't need to stop using your computer, just cut down on the amount of time you use it. I only use it to check my e-mails, check my instructables, and of course, school. creator 1

It's funny, I always thought that about tvs, but it never hit me that computers waist time and energy. Good point. thanks for commenting, please vote for me, creator 1

[Radioactive_Legos]

Nice.

It started yesterday.

Less an instructable, more of a lecture!

[creator 1]

well, you can only have so much instruction. if I had any less instruction, it would have been eliminated. So, in a round about way, it is kind of an inslecturableish type instructable.

[magicentral]

Great advice! My TV doesn't get reception so it is not a problem. But I think that you could have figured it out youself because it just makes sense. Choose your votes wisely.

[Great advice! ]
