Thinking about the environment can save money in the home and the office. This gallery has images of low energy light bulbs, bicycles, paper bags, and fuel efficient cars. Using fewer resources, consuming less energy and producing less waste is a good idea. Our society is very inefficient. We throw away too much and we waste too many resources. These images show some of the small changes our society is making to be less wasteful.
This handy and simple to use electricity meter is made for both the USA and the UK market. This image shows the UK version which has a three prong plug (live, neutral and earth). The meter is plugged into the wall socket and the appliance is plugged into the meter. The meter reads the voltage, the ampage, the watts, the Hertz and the KWH. The yellow button on the right is for both the total KWH of electricity used and the total time that the meter has been working. To find out the number of KWH used per hour just divide the time which is shown as hours and minutes as a decimal (for example 2 hours 30 minutes would be 2.5) into the total KWH to find out how much electricity is used per hour. The timer on the meter runs to 99 hours and 59 minutes before going back to 00:00.
This image shows the meter with a reading of 2849 watts while the kettle boils water. Fortunately the kettle is on for only a few minutes at a time. A tumble dryer can use the same amount of electricity and it can be on for several hours at a time.
In the UK until Christmas 2007 the meter appears to be at the lowest price at the following web site: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L61AQ&DOY=23m10
At the moment the meter costs about £15 plus shipping. This meter is a helpful tool to find out which appliances around the house cost the most to use. I know now that my refrigerator costs £189 per year to run and that the tumble dryer is by far the biggest consumer of electricity in my home. The meter itself uses a tiny amount of electricity.
