Lower your thermostat by 2 degrees Fahrenheit in winter
Wash your clothes in cold water
Air dry your clothes during summer (and in winter in a sunlit room)
Turn off unneeded lights

Turn off and unplug unused appliances that have a stand-by function
Take shorter showers
Turn your thermostat down when you go out in winter
Turn your air conditioning thermostat up when you go out in summer

Turn the TV off when you’re not watching it
Happy saving (your cash and the planet)!
