·      Converting to energy-efficient appliances and lifestyles during an economic slow down can be a challenge, but there are some relatively inexpensive ways to achieve this goal without hurting the pocketbook.  One way is to install low-flow showerheads and faucets that limit the volume of water received and thus help to lower water, electric, or gas bills.  Most low-flow showerheads cost about $30, while faucet aerators start at $2.  The payback is almost immediate for aerators in energy-bill savings, while for showerheads the payback can be a few months.
