  Green energy is increasing in popularity of late, due to the current economic downturn everyone is aware of. Green energy reduces the use of limited natural resources and makes it easier to save money on energy bills. Read on to find out how you can make green energy a part of your life.
  
  When it is time to upgrade your furnace and air conditioning system, consider switching to a geothermal unit. Geothermal heating and cooling systems involve pipes which are run underground. The water and refrigerant travel through the pipes to a temperature-control machine, which is used to change the temperature in your home. This is a much more efficient HVAC system since ground temperatures are steadier than air and not as much energy is lost.
  
  On-demand water heaters work great as a green device. Traditional water heaters are always on and heating unused water, which is a tremendous waste of energy. An on-demand water heater instantly heats water as it is needed resulting in tremendous savings.
  
  Use a dehumidifier to help cool your home. Humid air will typically make your space feel warmer. Before starting up the air conditioner on muggy days, consider running the dehumidifier instead. You may find the dehumidifier will reduce ambient air temperature enough to keep you comfortable. You may be able to avoid the air conditioner for a while longer than you may have thought.
  
  A laptop is actually a great alternative for consuming less energy as opposed to using a desktop. This can cut up to 75% of your electrical use, especially if you are frequently on the Internet or using word processing software. Also, you can bring the laptop with you wherever you go.
  
  Use a toilet designed to conserve water. It is estimated that up to 50 percent of a home's water use is literally flushed down the toilet. With the older model of toilets, the amount of water consumed each time they are flushed is 5 gallons; however, the newer, water-saving models consume only 1.6 gallons per flush, which will yield a saving of approximately 70 percent in your annual water consumption.
  
  One small way to save on energy costs is to use your home's power supply to run your laptop rather than using the battery. Even a full battery uses electricity, so removing it when you're plugged in can save energy and the battery.
  
  Take the time to properly maintain your refrigerator. Because refrigerators use so much energy, it really pays to keep them working as efficiently as possible. Be sure to regularly clean out the dust around the heating coils. Check the door seal for dirt, debris and leaks.
  
  Changing your heating to solar water can reduce the price to heat your water, hot tub and pool. Both natural gas and electricity are inefficient heating methods, while solar water heaters use the sun to constantly heat your water. In the United States there are many tax deductions for energy efficient green products.
  
  The above tips and techniques will help consumers incorporate green energy into their life. Green energy can easily be implemented into consumer's lives using the aforementioned tips and techniques.
