Hippie Tip: Cool it on the water heater!

If you live in Hawai`i, you most likely have an electric water heater unless you have propane trucked and delivered to your house (which is still dependent on oil any way you look at it), or if you’re fortunate enough to have solar.

Some ways to save on electricity (and oil dependence):

-turn it off when on vacation
-install a hybrid water heater (you might also get a tax cut for this)
-install an off/on switch to the water heater and only switch it on for a few hours at night when you use it most
-use cold water when washing clothes
