Think of ways you can save the Earth around your home....

- Lighting: turn off the lights when you are not in the room. use energy efficient bulbs

- Washing clothes: not filling up your washing machine all the way saves energy. How about hanging up your clothes to dry?!

- Thermostat: check the settings. It is recommended to be most energy efficient you should set it for 68 in the winter and 78 in the summer. Be sure to get your HVAC system serviced once a year to be sure it is running properly.
