8 Easy Steps on How to Save Electricity

1.  Replace your light bulbs with energy efficient CFL ones.

2.  Turn off lights when you leave a room.

3.  Do not keep the TV on as background noise when you are not watching it.

4.  Ensure you don't have phantom electricity loss. Even when unused, plugged in electrical appliances use a small amount of electricity. Either unplug appliances you are not using, or plug them into a power strip and turn off the power strip when you are done.

5.  Wrap up - wear a sweater, a hooded sweat shirt, sweatpants, socks, a plush slipper, and a hat; only after this should you turn on the heat if needed.

6.  Hair dryers use a lot of electricity. Dry your hair half way, and then let it air dry. Better yet, don't wash your hair every day. Some experts say washing hair every day strips away the oil your scalp produces and harms the hair.

7.  Air dry laundry. Hang the wet clothes in hangers in your closet, but keep the closet door open. Don't do this if you have a mold problem.

8.  Use the light soil wash cycle on your washing machine.
