Energy Saving Ideas
- Install double-pane windows in your home
- Use CFL or LED light bulbs
- Use Energy Star labeled equipment
- Turn off all home and office equipment when not in use, and use power strips for your electricity needs; consider a smart power strip
- Turn off lights when not in use
- Turn down the thermostat - lowering it by just one degree can reduce heating energy costs significantly; consider a smart thermostat
- Avoid unnecessary electricity loads (electrical equipment that still uses energy even after being turned off) by using a power strip
- Reduce your water heater temperature from 140 degrees to 120 degrees
- Consider a Home Energy Management system
- Weatherize and upgrade the insulation in your home
- Consider adding solar panels to your rooftop, or participating in a community solar program

Ideas for a Greener Lifestyle
- Reduce, reuse, recycle
- Bring reusable shopping bags with you to the grocery store or farmer's market
- Support your local farmer's market and buy seasonal farmed foods and produce
- Use eco-friendly cleaning supplies
- Favor cloth over paper products
- Choose natural lawn care instead of using pesticides and synthetic fertilizers
- Consider using biodegradable detergent and oxygen bleach
- Consider getting in the habit of using reusable mugs, thermoses, sports bottles, etc… daily
- Install low-flow toilets and water-saving faucets
- Consider bicycling instead of driving if possible...try biking to work or using public transit, where these alternatives are accessible
- Instead of a conventional car that relies on gasoline, consider a plug-in hybrid or a 100%-electric vehicle
