Don’t fill the kettle all the way if you just need one cup of boiling water

Filed Under Green Tips | Trackback

The savings are twofold with this one because you are not using as much water and as it takes much less time for a cup to boil compared to a normal eight cup kettle then you are saving energy costs as well. The recommended minimum for most kettles is more than enough water for your cup of tea or coffee. If there is any left over, let it cool and use it on the garden or if you have some weeds you wish to get ird of then poor the boiling water on them for a natural weed killer.
