As a student, I have been made better aware of how my good friend and I humans are destroying the Earth, especially the effect our energy usage has had on the environment. I don’t have a lot of money to spare, but, our government understands that not everybody has extra money to spare to help our environment, which easily explains why tax deductions are offered to people who choose energy efficient appliances. Homes are rather cheap in my small rural town, and, when I purchase one, I hope to have the extra money to purchase environmentally friendly appliances, like the geothermal Heating plus A/C system. The temperature within the Earth stays fairly consistent, plus the geothermal system uses the heat beneath the Earth’s surface to heat the cabin in winter, plus returns the heat to the Earth in the Summer when the system cools the home, a geothermal system is more fancy to purchase, however will save money in the long run. It uses less energy than traditional Heating plus A/C systems, lasts years longer, plus requires minimal repair. It also leaves a much smaller carbon footprint than other traditional methods of heating plus cooling a house. Since multiple of the houses in my small rural city don’t offer air conditioner outside of window units, purchasing a cabin here will give me the chance to do my part in helping the environment by purchasing a geothermal air conditioner plus furnace.
