1. Switch off anything that consumes energy when not in use.
If you're not using it, turn it off. This goes for lights, televisions. computers, printers, and so on. Put timers on lamps and use them to turn off at the same time each day. Timers like these can be found in hardware stores and they can be plugged into outlets, then control the power to your lamp.
2. Unplug devices when possible.
Leaving devices plugged in, such as laptop chargers or toasters, can use "phantom" energy. Even when an appliance is turned off, it may still use power. It is best to unplug anything that you won't use in the next 36 hours.
3. Trade in your dryer for a good old-fashioned clothesline.
Air drying leaves your clothes smelling fresh and is environmentally friendly. Tumble dryers are among the biggest energy users in most households, after the refrigerator and air conditioner. If you do use a dryer, make sure to keep the vent clear, for safety as well as efficiency.
4. Run your air conditioner sparingly or not at all.
Air conditioners use a great deal of electricity. Use natural ventilation or a fan to keep cool as much as possible. If you do use an air conditioner, set it to a slightly lower temperature than outside. Remember that setting the temperature lower uses more electricity, and it won't cool things off any faster.
