Explanation:

• Turn off electric items when they are not in use to save energy.- A good rule of thumb is that if you aren’t using it, turn it off. This goes for lights, televisions, computers, printers, video game consoles and so on.[1]
• Unplug devices whenever possible to limit the flow of electricity.- Leaving devices such as laptops, desktop computers, mixer-grinders, ovens, TVs etc., plugged in can use "phantom" energy. Many devices and appliances simply stay on standby or enter a sleep mode when they are turned off. These items still draw electricity when they are in this state(2)
• Adjust the temperature settings in your house.- Set your systems to a slightly lower or higher temperature than it is outside, when you can. This makes it so your systems don’t have to work as hard. Plus, the warmer the heat, the more money it costs; and the same goes for your air conditioner—the colder the air, the more money you spend.(3)
• Switch to LED light bulbs in as many lights as you can. -LED light bulbs do cost more than conventional light bulbs, but the benefits outweigh the cost. They use 25-85% less energy, last 3-25% longer, and are much better/safer for the environment.(4)
• Trade in your electric dryer for a good old-fashioned clothesline.- Tumble dryers are among the biggest energy-users in most households, after the refrigerator and air conditioner. Air drying your clothes is environmentally friendly and still leaves your clothes smelling fresh.(5)
• Measure the energy your devices use, with the help of a kilowatt meter.- A kilowatt meter can be purchased at a home improvement store and costs around $20.00. Simply plug an item into the meter to get a reading. The tool will tell you how much electrical energy your device or appliance is using, as well as if it uses phantom energy or not.(6)
• Use reusable items whenever possible to limit the trash in landfills.- While disposable items are super convenient, anything made to only use one time and throw away should be avoided. Not only do they create more environmental waste, they end up costing you more money in the long run.[7)
