Turn off the lights. About 25% of the electricity we use at home goes to power our lights. First and foremost, try to remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room. If you’re just dashing in and out, it’s not a big deal. But if you’re going to be gone for at least ten minutes, just flick the light off. It’s easy enough to turn back on when you return.
2. Use energy-saving bulbs. LEDs (light emitting diodes) use 70% less energy than a standard bulb and can last 25 times as long! You can get the same quality light for a fraction of the amount of coal needed to power the old fashioned incandescent. Even if LEDs cost a few dollars more than old-style bulbs, they’ll save you about $80 each in energy costs over the lifetime of the bulb. Isn’t that worth it?
3. Get ENERGY STAR certified appliances.EPA’s ENERGY STAR program has created a set of performance standards to ensure that you can buy highly energy-efficient refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, air conditioners and more. When you replace an old appliance, choose a new one that is ENERGY STAR-certified so you save the most energy using the most reliable appliance.
4. Recycle old refrigerators. Refrigerators are energy hogs. Even though yours still might work well, if it is ten years old or older, consider replacing it with an updated model. Many utilities will give you a rebate for replacing an old, energy-wasting refrigerator with a newer on that uses energy efficiently. They’ll also pick up the refrigerator and recycle it for you, and often pay you for the privilege.
5. Unplug computers and other electronics.Did you know that computers and other electronics consume 40% of their total energy use when they’re turned off but still plugged in? That’s why the Department of Energy calls them “vampires.” Get in the habit, not just of turning electronics off, but unplugging them when you’re not using them. This goes for televisions, X-boxes, and sound equipment as well as computers.
