  • Turn off your AC/heater when you leave the home. Don't let it run and waste energy when you're not there using it. Also consider keeping it off when you're home, and use more blankets when its cold, and wear lighter clothes in the home when its warm
  • Keep the lights turned off in any room you're not currently using
  • Use cloth napkins and towels for cleaning, instead of paper ones
  • If you have a good dishwasher, put your dishes in it without rinsing them first. Dishwashers actually use a surprisingly small amount of water compared to hand-washing, but that benefit goes away if you run the sink too much while loading it.
