What will save you more money?
a. Dropping your water heater 20 degrees AND cutting 5 minutes off your shower
b. Brewing you own daily coffee instead of going for a latte at Starbucks
c. Carpooling one day a week.
An article by Lauren Baier Kim in Yahoo Finance gave me the numbers. And I am shocked. Shocked.
Being a good environmental buddy with your utilities only saves $227 a year. Less if you have a gas water heater.
Being a good carbon footprint buddy with your car saves $423 a year (with gas at $4.07 a gallon).
But saying nay to Starbucks, that purveyor of luscious sanity-saving beverages, wins with a savings of $912 a year.
Maybe this explains why Starbucks are starting to close, but we still have global warming.
