1. Turn off lights, appliances, and other electronics when not in use.
2. Set thermostats to higher temperatures in the summer and lower temperatures in the winter.
3. Replace old appliances with more energy efficient models. 
4. Change lightbulbs to compact fluorescents or LED bulbs. 
5 .Wash clothes using cold water whenever possible, or switch over to a front-loading washing machine that uses less water and energy overall while cleaning clothes just as effectively as a regular top-loader.   Additionally, line drying is an excellent way to both reduce energy use and add some additional warmth and sunshine into your home each day!
