Apr. 22, 2009 - Happy Earth Day

Easy tips to conserve energy and help save our planet.

• Buy compact fluorescent light bulbs. You'll find more on energy-efficient products and practices at Energy Star. 
• Turn off lights and electronics when you leave the room.
• Unplug your cell phone charger from the wall when not using it.
• Turn off energy strips and surge protectors when not in use (especially overnight).
• Lower your thermostat. Buy a programmable thermostat.
• Get off junk mail lists. GreenDimes can get you started. They’ll even plant a tree for you!
• Bring your own bags to the grocery store. Given a choice between plastic and paper, opt for paper.  If you do use plastic grocery bags, recycle them for doggie poop bags or for small trashcan liners.
• Shop smart. Choose eco-smart products.
