Green Quick Tips – Lighting Types, Lighting Tips, and Grey Water

February 19, 2014 @ 03:00 By Gavin Webber Leave a Comment

Green Quick Tips

This week’s episodes cover off some of my favourite topics.

We could all use a bit more money off our power bill, so this week I took the time to explain the pros and cons of different lighting options that you could use around the home.  I quickly followed that up with a separate episode about lighting behaviours to help save you a bit of money.

I also dedicated an episode to using grey water in your garden.  I use grey water all the time, and it  adds to the overall mix of water systems around my home.  It is particularly useful during very dry conditions, just like the ones we have been experiencing here Down Under.  There is nothing wrong with using grey water if used correctly.

Anyway, on with the show;

Episode 14 – Green Quick Tips for Understanding Efficient Lighting types.

Still got those old incandecent lightbulbs putting a massive whole in you back pocket.  Never fear, in this quick tip, I break down the different lighting choices so you can make an informed decision next time you have to buy a light bulb.

Episode 15 – Green Quick Tips for Lighting and Saving Money.

A few simple behavioural tips will help save some money with your household lighting.  The right lighting choices will save you time and effort well into the future.
Episode 16 – Green Quick Tips for using Grey Water in Your Garden.
Why not reuse the water you have used in the laundry or bathroom.  Very easy to do, and it keeps your garden looking green and healthy during water restrictions during the summer months.
Hope you enjoyed the show.  I would love some feedback about this series in general.  Is the content suitable.   Are the episodes too short or too long.  Is the audio quality okay?
Let me know via comment if you think these green quick tips are of value to you.
