Green Tip of the Day

1. Invest in a PowerCost Monitor.

The unit monitors electricity consumption by measuring the speed of the spinning-dial located on any standard utility meter. A wireless hand-held display shows you what you are spending in real-time. The unit is perfect for finding out how much you are spending on electricity and how much you could save by making a few adjustments to your electrical use.

The unit costs $149.99 (Canadian dollars) and according to their website, could save you "20 cents on every dollar you're spending right now on your electricity bill - without changing your lifestyle."

I am interested in hearing some success stories about the PowerCost Monitor. Leave a comment and keep checking back for more daily power-saving tips.
