Micro-sustainability Monday: Natural gas usage
Did you know that the average cost per household per month for natural gas usage is approximately $65, which is primarily used to heat buildings and water?
You can reduce your gas usage by making sure all the windows and doors are closed. Closing windows and doors reduces the amount of gas used because it takes less gas to sustain indoor temperature compared to heating a cold room with a draft.
Lowering your thermostat a degree or two each week is a great start to reducing gas use. When there’s no one in the building, try turning off the heater in the building.
