So yes, I am one of those people unplugging things and writing notes and leaving them in conspicuous consumption type places. We have started unplugging all of our power bars and it does make a difference. I would love to hear more tips!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-64689422418791052832011-08-09T13:33:40.794-04:002011-08-09T13:33:40.794-04:00I have finally gotten everyone into the habit of n...I have finally gotten everyone into the habit of not just shutting things off but unplugging them. If they are plugged in they still draw current. You would be surprised at the number of things that stay unplugged for days.<br /><br />We also have the central running because of my mom and sons asthma but since we keep the temp at a current it isnt to bad<br /><br />JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-1869229872634410592011-08-09T12:42:29.053-04:002011-08-09T12:42:29.053-04:00I'm the one running around shutting off all of...I'm the one running around shutting off all of the lights and unplugging appliances we are not using.

I've also changed a lot of our lightbulbs to the fluorescent kind to save energy. We take super quick showers to save on hot water costs. We use a programmable thermostat, which is a bit of a pain but I can't deny that it saves money in the long run. I still think we could get the utility bills down a bit more but it would be at the expense of comfort and I'm not quite there yet!Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748705005786498840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-6643339414197443722011-08-09T09:59:03.535-04:002011-08-09T09:59:03.535-04:00Since it is the summer right now, and it has been ...Since it is the summer right now, and it has been a hot one, my AC is running all the time. I consider it a small price to pay since I manage to keep the electric below thirty dollars a month the whole rest of the year.23DIDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578566282642246166noreply@blogger.com
