2)Wash laundry in cold water instead of hot or warm while using Washing Machine.
3)Be sure to turn off lights when you leave a room.
4)Turn off machines when you leave a room (examples include TV’s,TV computers, radios, stereos, video games, VCR’s, and DVD players).
5)Keep doors and windows closed when heat or air conditioning is on.
6)Replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescents bulbs.
7)Make sure Fridge is out of direct sunlight and not close to the oven. It is best to keep it against an outside wall so that the heat it generates can escape easily, and always make sure that there is a few inches space all around the fridge so that air can circulate.Never put warm or hot food into the fridge.
8)Try and prepare several food dishes in the oven together.
9)Always wash full loads of clothing rather than smaller ones. Try and use cold water for washing and rinsing the clothes.
10)Use laptop instead of a desktop, if practical. It consumes five times less electricity.

Happy Saving!!
