Energy Product

For the past few weeks, I have been conducting an experiment IN THE NAME OF SAVING THE EARTH!, and because Mr. Blake said so. The purpose of the experiment is to find ways to consume less energy at home, therefore lowering our monthly energy bill and kWh used. Setting up this experiment was pretty simple, we brainstormed ideas that we think will lower our monthly energy consumption, then we put them into affect. My hypothesis was: “If I take energy saving precautions at home such as taking shorter, colder showers, using electric strips for electric appliances (and turning them off when not in use), and be more mindful of leaving lights and other appliances on in my house when not in use, then I will see a decrease in energy consumption on the monthly bill.”

This being said, I conducted my experiment by taking shorter, colder showers at home, using power strips to charge my appliances, and generally being more mindful of leaving appliances on when not in use.

The picture above is the power strip I have been using and turning off when not in use. The picture to the left is my shower, which I have been using for shorter/colder periods of time.
