	Ah...The Feel of Wind in Your Hair...
	Driving Down Emissions...
	Lights out!
	Up a Creek...
	The Price is Right!


	Is visiting your home like visiting Las Vegas? Is there music and television playing in every room? Are there lights on all over the place? If so, you are using more energy than you need to!

First...
remember the golden rule of conservation:


Here are some other ways
for you to conserve appliance energy:

	Use natural light! Do you really need those lights on during the day? Can you get enough light by opening the curtains?

	Don’t go using the dishwasher unless its FULL! Better yet, wash by hand! But don't run that water! Only fill up your sinks with as much water as you need.

	Know what you want to eat, before you open the fridge! That way, you won’t lose energy by having the fridge door open while you decide! Hmmm.... I'm hungry!

	*Wash your clothes in cold* water and hang them to dry! We waste loads (Ha! Ha! Get it?) of energy by using hot water when cold will do.**

SPIN CYCLE?

Did you know that your grandparents probably did laundry by hand… in a tub! Saving energy today does not take as much effort. Washing laundry in cold water saves a lot! Hang-drying your clothes not only reduces energy use, but also gives your clothes a naturally clean scent!!!
