Energy used for lighting and appliances can account for half of your home's total utility bill. ENERGY STAR qualified products, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, electronic equipment, light fixtures, and compact fluorescent lights (CFL’s) can significantly reduce energy costs. A “Smart Strip” multi-outlet surge protector will turn off electronic accessories such as VCR’s, DVD players, and surround- sound systems or computer equipment when not in use.
As my older regular light bulbs burn out, I have been replacing them with Energy Star qualified light bulbs, which use about 75% less energy and produce about 75% less heat and lasts up to 10 times longer.
Really, every little bit helps...Have a great day...
