While I applaud people who are making the necessary changes to go green in their lives, it can be a difficult transition. For the people who love to leave the water running while they brush their teeth, I’ve listed some of the easiest ways to save energy in the household.

1. Lower Your Water Heater Temperature
Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Washing Clothes or Dishes
Follow the full load guideline. Never use the dishwasher or washing machine unless it houses a full load.

3. Using Power Strips
Plug your electronics into power strips. When turning off these electronics, power down using the power strip to prevent stand-by mode from drawing electricity unnecessarily.

4. Power Down Computers and Monitors
Turn off your computer and monitor when they are not being used. Contrary to popular beliefs, turning them on and off will not cause damage. If you are away from your computer at different intervals, make sure you have set the power save options.

5.Air dry dishes rather than using the heated drying cycle.
