The California Energy Commission’s Consumer Energy Center says "The average home spends about $1,900 a year on energy costs. But you can lower your energy bills and help save the environment at the same time!" Here are some fast and free energy-savings tips:
- Be a speedy chef. Nothing is more energy efficient for cooking than your microwave. It uses two-thirds less energy than your stove.
- Push a button to wash your dishes. Surprise! Your dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand. Then let dishes air-dry to save even more!
- Fill up the fridge. Having lots of food in your fridge keeps it from warming up too fast when the door is open. So your fridge doesn't have to work as hard to stay cool.
