Prepare for déjà vu. These are the reminders your mom nagged you about growing up. Now you can see why. It can save you energy and money.
· Turn off the lights when you’re not in the room.
· Turn off the TV when you’re not watching.
· Don’t stand in front of the refrigerator with the door open deciding what to eat. Choose first, then open the door.
· A filled refrigerator and freezer are more efficient than an empty one. Don’t shop in bulk? Then fill empty milk jugs or soda containers with water to help fill your extra space.
· More than half the energy you use doing laundry is heating the water. Use cold water whenever possible.
