The first of Ten Ways to Go Green and Save Green
Tip #1. Save energy to save money.
o Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
o Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out.
o Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts "phantom" or "vampire" energy use.
o Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water.
o Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying.
