2. Compact Fluorescent Lights—it’s a long known fact that they consume less electricity when compared to incandescent bulbs or halogen lamps.

3. Highly Efficient Washing Machines—they double the workload while cutting down on costs.

4. Filtered Water Bottles—instead of buying your usual bottled water, you can opt to have these instead.  They filter tap water.  They may cost more upon purchase but they are guaranteed to save you money in the long run.

5. Battery Charger—instead of throwing away your money on disposable batteries all of the time, this will guarantee that there would always be available batteries at a lower cost.

6. Look for appliances with the Energy Star label.  Such gadgets include televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners and cell phones. 

7. The Coolmatic cooler by Waeco.  It can keep your food and drinks cold for a maximum of 2 days while running on 80aH battery. 

8. The Large Battery Powered Fan—runs mainly on alkaline batteries (again, you have the option to use rechargeable cells).  It can last up to 3 days.

9. High-efficiency Scooters—this is best for people who do not want to walk to work yet wouldn’t want to waste much money on fuel. 

10. Solar Outdoor Lighting—the idea is to charge during the day and to spend the stored energy during the night.  This outdoor lighting can provide light for an entire night.
