We should all work to assess our energy use and address areas where we are wasteful, because there are finite amounts of energy resources available to us. As populations grow and energy consumption rises, the need for energy conservation — the practice of using less energy — becomes more critical. Less energy consumption can help you reduce your environmental impacts and even help lower your energy costs.
• Be mindful of your thermostat. Heater and air condit ioning costs account for nearly half of an average utility bill, so make adjustments for daily periods when you are out of the house. Reductions in intensity and frequency of use offer the greatest opportunity for savings. • Turn off lights when you leave a room. • Turn off appliances when they are not in use. Appliances waste small amounts of energy while in standby mode. To avoid waste, completely turn off or even unplug appliances like your blender, coffee maker, toaster and blow dryer when they are not in use.
