Non Electric Appliances

Back in the old days, everybody used Non Electric Appliances because that was all there was! Electricity has made our lives and chores easier but we are now using too much so maybe we should get back to basics.

Let's start in the kitchen.

How about the actual cooking. To get away from using the stove and oven, you can take it outside and barbeque but that's not the only option. In addition to a barbeque or open fire you can use solar energy to cook. One solar cooking solutions is the Sun Oven. It's not just for camping. It works great at a picnic or anytime there's sun.

Now, on to laundry.

An electric clothes dryer uses heat and energy so try hanging out your clothes when you can. This is more challenging in a smaller space or rainy climate but there are lots of nice outdoor and indoor racks and lines for drying clothes. Many drying racks and even clothes lines fold down nicely. When you have visitors, just put them away. It is a bit of a hassle having to take out and put away the clothesline or rack but it really does save quite a bit of energy so your effort is well worth it.

If you do have a yard or garden for a permanent clothesline, even better. Or you may have a large laundry room, garage or other space that you could leave temporary lines and racks up pretty much all the time.

Drying clothes without using energy is easy but what about washing your clothes? There's hand washing and there's the non electric type washer. Hand washing does not require any special equipment and may be better for delicate clothing than a washer. It is time consuming. Another option is a non electric washer like the James Washer.

Do you use the garbage disposal a lot?

Need more power?

If you do need a little more power or just have to watch television, you can also make your own energy. Have you ever seen this trick in the movies? Ride a bicycle to generate power. Well, you really can do that. (Or make the kids do it for you!) Talk about a good work out AND you save energy and money. The Human Power Trainer, for example, can charge your off-grid or RV household battery and any portable battery pack.

When you do use your electric appliances, make sure they are Energy Efficient Appliances and you will still save energy and money.
