Try:

Try to walk instead of drive if you have to drive, drive slower.

Don't leave the T.V on standby

Try to recycle anything possible

All these things DO make a difference!

Answer 7

The best way to save is to not use it in the first place.  You have too many electric things.  

How about a washing machine that looks like a old ski exercise machine.  Then you use a solar dryer, mine looks like a bit of rope, between two trees, 0 fossil fuel energy used.

Toss out your cell phone charger, use power from your car while on trips to the store or work.  They make car chargers for you laptop also.

Look to use the solar for heat.  Make a heater that works when the sun shines to heat your home or garage.
