Want to become more energy efficient? Check out these tips

Whether you own or rent your home, there are many things you can do to be more energy efficient. If you’re taking your kids to school—or simply walking the dog—you can turn off the lights and unplug electronics and small appliances while you’re away to save energy. And remember to set your thermostat 5-10 degrees lower before you leave the house. #SavingEnergy has never been so simple!

Want to encourage your family to jump on the energy-saving wagon? Have dinner by candlelight instead of overhead lighting—and during the day use natural sunlight to your advantage! Another great option is making the switch to energy-efficient LED bulbs instead of standard incandescent bulbs.

Love spending time in the beautiful California sun? Spend time hanging your laundry out to dry instead of tossing them into a dryer. Mother Nature (and your electric bill) will thank you and your green lifestyle!
