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 and electronics when not in use, using energy-efficient light bulbs, and adjusting your thermostat to use less energy for heating and cooling.<|im_end|>

That sounds easy. What about my appliances? Are there energy-efficient options?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, look for appliances with the ENERGY STAR label, which indicates they meet energy efficiency standards. You can also unplug chargers and small appliances when not in use to avoid standby power consumption.<|im_end|>
