It is still January 10, here in California pacific standard time.
Today's National Holiday is Cut Your Energy Costs Day! The website below provides 20 tips to save energy, money which will also help the environment!
Here are some tips:
- Turn your heat down, fridge, water heater
- Purchase energy efficient products and appliances (you may receive tax credits/rebates also)
- Turn off the tv, radio/computer if not in use
- Close window blinds/curtains during windy/cold or warm days
- Install low flow shower heads
- Fix leaky faucets
- Electric/Hybrid cars
- Solar
& For more, check the link below.
What do you do to cut down energy costs? For my family, we buy energy star appliances (fridge, washing machine, a/c, thermostat, toilet, shower heads), products (printer, fan, light bulbs, etc). We turn off all lights not in use, unplug wires not in use.

I usually implement no TV until it's already noon. We also don't use the electric fan in the morning as it is a bit cold around here during this month. Also unplugging those appliances which are not in use.

The no TV is it because the electric charges more during morning hours. I know where I live during the summer we don't turn the a/c until after evening because during peak hours the charges is more!

@cherriefic well according to the news during peak hours morning to afternoon it costs more compared to evening. So in my household we don't use much during the peak hours!

Oh yes, you cannot turn off the fridge or freezer. I think the website meant turn down the temperature only. The fridge doesn't need to be super cold.

@infatuatedbby The fridge needs to be around 38 F, or the meat will spoil. I am very careful with food.
