Saving Energy on a Budget

You can save energy without breaking the bank by making a few smart choices. Switch to LED light bulbs, unplug devices when they aren’t in use, and adjust your thermostat to conserve heating and cooling. Wash your laundry in cold water, air‑dry clothes when possible, and use natural light during the day. Weatherize your home and plant shade trees to reduce the need for air conditioning. These simple steps lower utility bills and help the environment.
