For those who bad-mouth our
Southern culture, the Constitution,

Jefferson Davis and his defiance in
a federal prison, “We make no
apologies for having defended our
homes and country” (The Confed-
eracy).
Clifton Funeral Home was in

Conserve Energy,
Clean Up The Air For
Earth Day, Everyday
AUSTIN — Did you know that the typical U.S. family
spends close to $1,3000 a year on their home’s utility
bills? Unfortunately, a large portion of that energy is
wasted.
Electricity generated by fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal)
for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air
than two average cars. By implementing a few inex-
pensive energy-efficient measures, homeowners can
reduce energy bills from 10 to 50 percent, and at the
same time, help reduce air pollution.
With Earth Day looming Saturday, April, 22, the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission recom-
mends these tips for reducing energy in the home:
• Check air ducts for leaks and repair them,
• Correctly insulate and seal the dwelling.
• Change air filters monthly, and have systems in-
spected once a year by a professional.
• Replace again water heaters before they fail, insulate
the water heater, and lower the heating temperature on
the unit.
• Use low-flow shower heads and repair leaky faucets.
• Make sure the attic has sufficient insulation—at least
10 inches of blanket or eight to 14 inches of loose-fill insu-
lation. Install foam gaskets behind electrical outlets and
light switches
• Make sure doors fit snugly in the frame, using
weather-stripping when needed. Apply caulking around
the outside of door frames where they join the exterior
wall.
In addition, the TNRCC suggests cleaning refrigerator
and freezer coils regularly, remove frost buildup, and re-
place worn door gaskets. Using the energy-saving settings
found on many refrigerators, dishwashers, washing ma-
chines, and clothes dryers can also save utility costs.
Microwave ovens can be used to cook, defrost, and
warm foods. They are cheaper to operate, and do not gen-
erate heat like stoves and ovens, which in turn increase
air conditioning costs. Compact fluorescent bulbs should
be used throughout the home where possible.
“Using the above measures can save you money on your
energy bills and held reduce air pollution,” concluded a
TNRCC spokesman.
