I'm trying to save energy at home. What are some ways to do that?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can start by turning off lights, electronics, and appliances when not in use. Using energy-efficient light bulbs and adjusting your thermostat can also make a big difference.<|im_end|>

That sounds easy. What about using power strips to plug in electronics?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
That's a great idea. Plugging your electronics, like your TV and computer, into power strips and turning off the strip when they're not in use can help eliminate standby power consumption.<|im_end|>
