First and foremost, unplug the energy suckers! The TV, printer, computer, an empty freezer, coffee pot, etc.
Unplug these before you leave in the morning and especially when you go out of town.
Don't want to unplug? Change your computer settings for sleep or hibernate mode when you're not using it for more than 30 minutes. This can save almost as much energy as unplugging.
Get a smart power strip that can turn stuff off for you.
Do energy heavy chores during off-peak hours. Peak hours for laundry are usually 6-9am and 3-9pm. So do some late night laundry or try doing it over the weekend or on a holiday.
Buy energy friendly gadgets designed for making it easy for you to save money and to be kind to the environment.
