Energy saving appliances, light bulbs, and awareness(turn off lights when you leave the room or unplug electronics when they are not in use) are a start. I don’t know it all but the light bulbs and turning my thermostat down when I am not around helped me tremendously.

There are a lot of energy saving methods you can consider.
First, figure out what appliances take the most energy. Usually the freezer, fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer. Here are just a few simple ways you can cut down your energy bill.
- You can probably turn down your freezer and fridge and still keep your food cold enough.
- You can wash your dishes rather than using a dishwasher.
- Hang dry some clothes that dry easily (like dri-fit, linens, etc.)
- Wear more layers instead of turning on the heaters around the house
- If you use a wireless lan, you can shut that off when you’re not using your computer (which you should turn off as well)
- Get into the habit of turning off lights around the house if you’re not in that room
- Charge some smaller objects at the office instead of at home (hehe…)
- Some places have different electricity rates at different hours of the day. Find out when the cheaper hours are (probably during non-business hours)

Here are some great ways you can save electricity.
- Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120.
- Turn off unneeded lights even when leaving a room for a short time.
- Set your refrigerator temperature at 36 to 38 and your freezer at 0 to 5 .
- Unplug seldom used appliances.
- Use a microwave whenever you can instead of a conventional oven or stove.
- Turn off lights, computers and other appliances when not in use.
- Only use electric appliances when you need them.
- Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and energy.
Also there is this new Search Engine, Envirogle.com that helps save energy because of its unique black background, this will reduce electricity usage of your monitor. Which will inturn cut down your electricity bill slightly. Also it will reduce emmisions of greenhouse gasses.

Hi.,
You can change the set up of the power consumption of your computer – go to control Panel look for Power Option folder then set it to energy savings.
You can change your bulb into energy savings, the bulb is a bit costly than normal bulb but you can save 80% of energy consumption in electricity.
Leave your window open to have fresh air so you can save on airconditioner consumption you can put screen on your window to make sure the bugs will not come in & you will have an extra sunlight from the sun. You can use electric fan too but set the timer.
You can use gas on cooking than electric cooking range. Gas cost less or you can cook outside using coal just like in the camp fire and the food taste better too. Use Thermos for hotwater so you don’t have to boil the kettle everytime you need coffee.
You can wash your clothes by hand so save on washing machine. hang the clothes outside to dry so no more dryer.
Once in a while use candle light in you dinner, it looks romantic too.
Lastly, Turn off the power supply switches if not in use , Example if the microwave power supply switch is On even the Microwave switch is Off – the electricity is still running on power supply because it is On.
I know someone that once a month he totally turn off the electricity for a day, he use candles as a light and have an early sleep to rejuvinate his body as well.
Gee.. I wish this will help.

Don’t use a freezer
Make sure nothing is left on standby (including computer PSUs, satellite/cable boxes, hi-fi etc.)
Turn off lights when you leave the room, etc.
Just look around your house to see what devices are using energy, then think how you can reduce your use of them. It’s not hard.

Maybe you can unplug those appliances that you are not using. Or you can use other appliances that are battery operated.
