What do you do to save energy around your house to cut your electric bill?

Does saving energy help the environment? How so?

I signed up for a thing with my electric company to donate extra money for supporting more renewable sources of energy. Yeah, I figure carbon offsets work just as well.

I only turn things on when I need them.

If it’s feasible to have it unplugged, it’s unplugged til needed.

Shorter showers with cooler water.

Wash clothes when they need it instead of automatically after one wear; textile people also frown upon constantly washing clothes, so my things are in better condition longer. Also wash in cold. Most clothes are just fine with it.

Hang wet laundry to dry.

Compost instead of overusing the disposal in the sink.

Make my own cleaning products.

Not buy everything I want just because. Less consumption, less energy spent.

Take advantage of the fact that my apartment has trees by the windows and it doesn’t get that hot and use low energy fans instead of air conditioning when it’s too hot.

Use a low energy space heater instead of the central heating. They also have these new and awesome things called blankets, sweaters, and hoodies.

Use grey water for my plants.

Use recycled/ biodegradable garbage bags or simply carry my trash bin out bagless and dump it.

Recycle.

Use totes for shopping. If I do get a paper/ plastic bag, I reuse it.

Use natural light during the day rather than electric lights.

Yes, reducing energy counts. Energy byproducts pollute the environment and use resources we can ill-afford to spend, or could be spent in more efficient ways. Also, the littlest things can do amazing things to your energy bill.

Love the idea of woodburning. I don’t have a system for it, but all comunities will announce days when you can and can’t burn, so why not take advantage?
