A few simple hints

It is my experience that it is best to do the simple things first.  Your Sagewell report may show heat loss through your windows.  First go around and check to make sure all your windows are tightly shut and locked.  This will help. Also your air-conditioner should be removed or covered.

Save money and time with the laundry process, by first making the determination whether an item is really in need of washing.  Teach kids not to automatically throw clothes in the hamper or on the floor.  You'll be surprised at how much difference this makes.  Even cutting back one load of wash a week saves water, power, and your time folding and putting away.

Thinking differently by questioning your habits is a great way to start saving energy and making a difference.
