paint your walls lighter colors to reflect more light rather than absorb it.

don't run your washer or dryer when they aren't full.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

[I wouldn't recommend this though ]

dishwashers are generally more efficient then washing by hand.

LCD screen TVs are a lot more efficient than plasma screen TVs.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

for best results, don't watch TV at all

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

Energy Star model appliances are generally a lot more efficient.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

use a microwave rather than an oven or stove whenever possible.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

keep the lid on the pot when cooking to keep the heat in.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

recycle!

last July when gas prices rose to $4 [in the US], each individual person [on average] drove about 1.3 miles less per day.
this added up to about 4 million miles less per day for the whole country... 120 million miles for July.

off to take a shower now, then sleep for a bit...
and then I'll be back in a few hours for more homework
