Some other types of light switches you need to know
The only type of light switches that we know are the ones we see and buy in hardware dealers. These types of switches are known as a single-pole switch, which turns the light on and off with a single flipping of the lever up or down. However, if you are one of those who have homes with hallways or stairs that need a series of lights and needs to be controlled from multiple locations particularly from both ends of the hallway of staircase, then you probably need to have the three-way switches. Three-way switch has three terminal screws including the green grounding screw and got no “on” or “off” mark.

Easy Ways to Make your Home More Eco-Friendly Tip #3
Reuse.
Most of us know the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle, but when we work on conserving, we often leave reuse out of the picture. While you can often find tips on how to reuse common products from other people, what you need most is creativity. With a little thought there are many items around your home that can be reused – toilet paper holders can be used to sow seeds for the vegetable patch. And old yogurt containers can be cut into strip to make plant labels. Old food jars can be refilled with homemade foods or can make great impromptu vases.
Use environmentally friendly products. When you go to the grocery store, you probably see more and more “natural” or “eco friendly” products every time. There are generally two big problems with these products: 1. Just because they’re more natural than regular products, doesn’t mean they’re entirely natural. 2, They’re often expensive.
If you want inexpensive, natural, safe products, why not just make them yourself. Vinegar is a great way to clean and disinfect glass and other surfaces. Need to remove stubborn stains? Just add some baking soda to your vinegar cleaner. Some quick searching online will lead you to hundreds of other natural safe home-made cleaning products.
We all knowing that going green means better for the environment, but it’s also better for you. Conserving resources also helps save you money, which is something most of us are happy to live with.
