Hybrid Car verses Any Old Car

I was thinking about the hybrids and how much energy they save with regard to natural resources and then I started wondering about buying used cars and how much energy they save with regard to "recycling".

No energy is used to make another new car.

Will the hybrid save as much energy as the used or recycled car? One saves natural resources by using less of them and the other one also saves natural resources by using less of them. But, which one saves the most energy in the long term? Because it's the long term that determines what needs to be done now to help save our Green Earth.

Tips for Making Due With Less Without Feeling the Loss

1. Use water to dilute liquid cleansing products such as laundry detergent, dish washing liquid, even shampoo. They will last longer which saves money and there is less waste. They will also liquefy more easily.

2. Another tip that will save energy and money is to use light bulbs with a lower wattage than 75. Also there is available a light bulb made to use less energy and to last longer than the ordinary bulb.

3. Unplug anything that has a light on it at bedtime. This would be computers, the computer mouse, rechargeables, TV's, satellite or cable boxes.

4. Unplug scented plug ins at bedtime. It will save energy and it will last longer.

The savings in energy and money will add up.
