Benson_SS_10NLetterv5:Benson_SS_10NLetterv5# 3/22/10 6:58 AM Page 1 Living Green Energy Saving Tips In today’s economy, it is both fiscally and morally responsible to strive toward living green. It’s better for your environment and your pocketbook! Here are a few green tips to keep in mind. Keep your air filters clean. Dirty filters limit airflow and make the unit run longer. Clean or replace your filters every month or so during the summer. Set your thermostat higher. During the warm summer months the recommended indoor temperature settings are 78 degrees when you’re home and 85 degrees when you’re out. Use cold water to do your laundry. Save up to 80 percent of the energy required to wash clothes when you choose cold water. Shut down your home computer every night. Save an average of $90 a year by turning off your computer before bed Replace Your Shower Heads. Older showerheads can use three gallons per 5402 Tower Road Tallahassee, Florida 32303 minute or more. New, efficient models use two gallons per minute or less. Keep your refrigerator well stocked. Refrigerators that are full of food don’t warm up as quickly when the door is opened, so they require less energy to stay cool. We’ve Been Going Green for 30 Years! Hot Times . . .

It’s easy to make but guaranteed not to last long. INGREDIENTS: • 1 cup sugar • 1 cup self-rising flour • 1 stick of butter • 1 milk • 2 cups fruit DIRECTIONS Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Mix flour, sugar and milk. Pour mixture into dish with melted butter and stir. Add fruit and bake at 350 degrees until brown (about 30-45 minutes). Serve warm or cool. Top with cinnamon and or ice cream if desired (highly recommended). You’ll need an extra large bowl for cobbler this good!

It’s better for your environment and your pocketbook! Here are a few green tips to keep in mind. Keep your air filters clean. Dirty filters limit airflow and make the unit run longer. Clean or replace your filters every month or so during the summer. Set your thermostat higher. During the warm summer months the recommended indoor temperature settings are 78 degrees when you’re home and 85 degrees when you’re out. Use cold water to do your laundry. Save up to 80 percent of the energy required to wash clothes when you choose cold water. Shut down your home computer every night. Save an average of $90 a year by turning off your computer before bed Replace Your Shower Heads. Older showerheads can use three gallons per 5402 Tower Road Tallahassee, Florida 32303 minute or more. New, efficient models use two gallons per minute or less. Keep your refrigerator well stocked. Refrigerators that are full of food don’t warm up as quickly when the door is opened, so they require less energy to stay cool. We’ve Been Going Green for 30 Years! Hot Times . . .
