Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

Make sure windows and doors are sealed. Turn off ac at night.  Cook less often. Collect rainwater...?

Answer 2

for water- turn off the faucet when u brush ur teeth, use cold water for laundry

for electricity- use those energy saving flourescent light bulbs, they are supposed to last up to 5-7 years and they use up less energy, and actually, buy energy saving stuff... like high efficiency models of air conditioning and stuff... its supposed to be a bit more expensive but it makes ur bill lower.

also i heard that for heating, if u make switch the temperature 2 degrees lower, then that saves alot of energy, and for airconditioning if u switch it 2 degrees higher, it saves alot

Answer 3

yes.

use your utilities sparingly.

Answer 4

just the simple things:

Turn off lights when you leave a room.

Don&#039;t go in and out all day long.

Try not the use the air conditioner or central air.

Turn the water off when brushing, or even washing hands.

Don&#039;t turn on the shower until you are ready to get in or put a

     bucket in there to catch the water before you get in, and

     you can use it to water plants, or do dishes (it&#039;s clean).

Put buckets outside to collect rain water to water plants.

Check seals of the freezer and refridgerator.

Check seals of windows.

During the winter, wear sweaters and socks to stay warm so

     you don&#039;t have to heat as much.

Hope that helps!

-turn off lights when you&#039;re not using them (obviously)

-unplug cell phone chargers, bttery chargers, toasters etc. when not in use. they take up alot more energy than you think!

-buy solar panels (they&#039;re very expensive to buy but you save waaay more money in the long run.)

-there is a type of ventilation system where heats and cool are distributed more efficiently throughout the house so you don&#039;t have to use them as long, but you would have to ask a profesional about that.

-get better insilation.
