Autumn Yes, that is right – Fall will also begin soon again.

One would think that it can’t be true that Summer is already over. [I would hope so!] The katydids first began to ‘sing’ on the twelfth of August, here in the apple orchard. They say one can expect the first frost six weeks after that. I want to see if that holds out. The crickets are also ‘fiddling’ for a long time – I think that is what one would call their noise.

It is said, they make their music with the wings.

When we look at the leaves on the tree, one sees already, that some no longer look so good. Before one realizes it, they will turn themselves to other colors. and soon they will fall from the trees again.

I think the elderberries are about done by this time.

This is the time the apples are ready to be picked.

Then the apples will be sliced and dried and cider made – and ‘apple butter time’ is soon here.

It sure smells so good when we get close to the grapevines.

It appears, it was a good Page year for grapes.

And we also like fried pumpkins.

And one also sees many large yellow pumpkins that are often used for Halloween (Spook evening).

Some people feed pumpkins to the cows; they like to eat them. And I think that also makes a lot of milk.

I think, there is also still some sweet corn around here. But that time is about over. My, did this guy here work away sweet corn again! I think there is nothing better than sweet corn on the cob. A little salt and a lot of butter on it – then one goes to the job! I also like it any other way. One also doesn’t rightly starve with corn fridders. Corn pie also keeps one alive!

The field corn looks very good this year also; we can be very glad for that. It creates a good income for the farmers and the cattle also have good feed.

That will give good, fat pigs and cattle, so that one gets good meat to eat. One should never forget to thank God for all this good stuff that he allows to grow. We humans have not earned this, even if we think one has worked hard for it.

Our good little friends, the birds, are also getting ready to leave. Some have already so quietly sneaked away. Many that are still here, are no longer so cheerful; like they were throughout the summer.

of night, when they were caring for their young.

Now they completed their work and it appears they would be losing their spirit. The younger birds are now grown up and many will go with the older ones to a warmer land. However, some will stay here to keep us company throughout the winter. Others will come here to spend the winter. I planted some sunflowers so that one would not need to buy so much for the birds through the winter. But now the blue jays found those. They could not wait till the snow comes; they have already eaten just about all of them. I think they like them [seeds] when they are still green. I can’t blame them; I like corn better so long as it is still soft. I think I must just go shopping again this winter.

Sometimes it makes one feel badly, when fall is here – and one knows that winter is coming. But it has also its good side. I always think September is one of the nicest months. The big hot spells are over, and the weather is ordinarily more settled.

The nights are cooler, and we can sleep well.

Anyhow, one should always make the most of it.

[Clarence Reitnauer (1900-1989) was born on the family farm in Seisholtzville, Berks County, attended

a one-room school, Longswamp High School and finally the American Commercial School in Allentown, from which he graduated in 1921. He was an office worker for a short period, but then for most of his life he worked at cabinet making and carpentry.

But he is known to us more for his contribution to the preservation of the Dutch culture and dialect.

He was an active participant in PA Dutch church services in his area and a member of Die Deitsche Leit Schpieler (The Dutch-people players) from Huff’s Church, which presented Dutch plays and skits for that region. In 1966, following the death of Rev. William J Rupp, he continued Rev. Rupp’s PA German column in Pennsburg’s Town and Country newspaper, under the pen name, Der Schtiwwelknecht vun Seisholtzville (The ‘boot-jack’ from Seisholtzville). He passed away on 5 April 1989 and was buried in the Rauch Hertzog Cemetery at Huff’s Church.]

COOKING WITH CATHERINE

INGREDIENTS • 1 jar of salsa (I used 32 oz.)

• 2.5 pounds uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast, cut/diced • 2 c. cheese (I use Mexican-style, Cheddar, or both) • 1 can corn • 1 can black beans • Pinch of taco seasoning • Fresh cilantro • Tortilla chips • Sour Cream DIRECTIONS Combine salsa and cut-up chicken in crockpot.

Add salt and pepper to your liking, and pinch of taco seasoning.

Recipe by Catherine Stroh, inspired by Betty Crocker

Slow Cooker Cheesy Salsa Chicken Soup

add 1 can of drained corn and 1 can drained black beans, stir, cover the top of your mixture with cheese.

Cover again and cook on high until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.

Add sour cream, top with crushed tortilla chips and fresh cilantro.

Enjoy!

I absolutely love this recipe! It is extremely easy, inexpensive, quick and so delicious. Whenever I have this in the crockpot at home I cannot wait for dinner! It’s also very versatile too, you can make it your own, which is what I did with the original recipe by Betty Crocker. The original recipe only called for chicken, cheese and salsa so I vamped it up a little bit. The original also called to serve with rice, which you could do, however I think of it more as a soup so I add tortilla chips and eat with a spoon!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. Good luck and enjoy.

25 Ways to Save Energy This Fall Energy Efficiency With the first day of autumn beginning September 22nd, now is the best time to implement some “green” ideas that will save both energy and money.

Below is a compiled list of tips that will help you prepare for the transition to lower temperatures and more time spent indoors.

Heating and Furnace 1. For every degree you lower your thermostat, you save about 2 percent on your heating bill.

2. For optimal home heating and energy saving, set your thermostat no higher than 68 degrees while at home, and lower the heat when you go to bed or when you are not at home.

3. Adding a humidifier to your home can help you keep your thermostat at lower temperatures while still ensuring optimal comfort.

4. Don’t crank up the heat! The house will warm up at the same rate, regardless of the temperature setting; your home won’t heat up any faster by raising the temperature!

5. If you have a ceiling fan, change the direction of airflow. During the colder months, the blades should be positioned in the clockwise position,

which will help push warm air from the ceiling down to the floor (and redistribute the heat).

6. Changing dirty furnace air filters can provide a cost savings of up to 5 percent!

7. Do you have a fireplace? Now is a good time to check vent systems and clean chimneys.

8. Check doors for weather stripping and replace if necessary.

9. Wrap an insulating blanket around your water heater.

10. If you want the most accurate readings on your thermostat, you might want to consider installing a programmable thermostat.

Windows and Insulation 11. During sunny days, leave blinds and drapes open to allow solar heat to warm your home. Keep them open during the day to let heat in, and then close them at night to prevent heat from escaping.

12. You might want to consider upgrading to high- efficiency windows with low e-coatings, insulated spacers, and argon gas fill.

13. Remove window air conditioners for the fall.

If the air conditioners cannot be removed, make sure to seal them with tape or caulking, and cover them with an airtight, insulated jacket.

14. Check to see if your insulation is up to par.

You can find out by measuring its thickness; if there is less than R-22 (7 inches of rock wool or fiberglass, or 6 inches of cellulose), consider adding more.

15. Install covers on keyholes and/or letterboxes to reduce indoor drafts.

Lighting 16. Replace light bulbs. Switching to CFLs or LED bulbs can provide greater cost -savings, as

they use less energy and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

17. Install motion sensors or timers on external lights.

18. Turn off lights when they are not being used.

19. Halogen lighting is ideal for gardens and pathways, as they use up to 40 percent less energy than traditional bulbs.

20. Use automatic control switches to adjust lighting to appropriate levels.

General 21. Check the air pressure in your tires. Cooler temperatures can lower tire pressure, which, in turn, lowers fuel efficiency.

22. Chop up leaves with your lawn mower to create a layer of mulch that will break down and give your lawn nutrients.

23. Keep your fridge at least three quarters full to maximize efficiency.

24. Wash laundry with full loads, and use cold water to save energy.

25. When cooking on the stove, make sure to put lids on pots to cook food quicker and save energy.

Recycling submitted by Chris Woodford

During your lifetime, you'll produce over 600 times your own weight in trash—enough to fill a good few trucks. [1] That staggering statistic might not be such a problem if we didn't have to live on a relatively small, overcrowded planet. Pretty much all the resources we have on Earth—all the raw materials and an awful lot of the energy—are limited: once we've used them up, we won't get any more. So it makes sense to use things as wisely as we can.

The best way to use Earth's resources more

sensibly is to reduce the amount of things that we use (for example, less packaging on food in shops) and to reuse things instead of throwing them away (reusing carrier bags at the grocery store makes a lot of sense). If we can't reduce or reuse, and we have to throw things away, recycling them is far better than simply tossing them out in the trash.

Let's take a closer look at recycling and how it works!

Why is recycling important?

When you throw stuff away, you might be very glad to get rid of it: into the trash it goes, never to be seen again! Unfortunately, that's not the end of the story. The things we throw away have to go somewhere—usually they go off to be bulldozed underground in a landfill or burnt in an incinerator.

Landfills can be horribly polluting. They look awful, they stink, they take up space that could be used for better things, and they sometimes create toxic soil and water pollution that can kill fish in our rivers and seas.

One of the worst things about landfills is that they're wasting a huge amount of potentially useful material. It takes a lot of energy and a lot of resources to make things and when we throw those things in a landfill, at the end of their lives, we're also saying goodbye to all the energy and resources they contain. Some authorities like to burn their trash in giant incinerators instead of burying it in landfills.

That certainly has advantages: it reduces the amount of waste that has to be buried and it can generate useful energy. But it can also produce toxic air pollution and burning almost anything (except plants that have grown very recently) adds to the problem of global warming and climate change.

The trouble is, we're all in the habit of throwing stuff away. In the early part of the 20th century, people used materials much more wisely— especially in World War II (1939–1945), when many raw materials were in short supply. [2] But in recent decades we've become a very disposable society.

We tend to buy new things instead of getting old ones repaired. A lot of men use disposable razors, for example, instead of buying reusable ones, while a lot of women wear disposable nylon stockings.

Partly this is to do with the sheer convenience of throwaway items. It's also because they're cheap: artificial plastics, made from petroleum-based materials, became extremely inexpensive and widely available after the end of World War II. But that wasteful period in our history is coming to an end.

We're finally starting to realize that our live-now, pay-later lifestyle is storing up problems for future generations. Earth is soon going to be running on empty if we carry on as we are. Americans live in much greater affluence than virtually anyone else

on Earth. What happens when people in developing countries such as India and China decide they want to live the same way as us? According to theenvironmentalists Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins, and Hunter Lovins, we'd need two Earths to satisfy all their needs. If everyone on Earth doubles their standard of living in the next 40 years, we'll need 12 Earths to satisfy them! [3] Why should you recycle?

If everyone reduced, reused, and recycled, we could make Earth's resources go an awful lot further.

Recycling saves materials, reduces the need to landfill and incinerate, cuts down pollution, and helps to make the environment more attractive. It also creates jobs, because recycling things takes a bit more effort than making new things. Recycling doesn't just save materials: it saves energy too.

Manufacturing things uses a lot of energy from power plants—and hungry power plants generally make global warming worse. We can save a surprising amount of energy by recycling. If you recycle a single aluminum can you save about 95 percent of the energy it would take to make a brand new one. [4] That's enough energy saved to power your television for about 3 hours!

away can be recycled. Looking at the chart below, you can see that we currently recycle somewhere between 30–90 percent of the various different materials we use. Just imagine if everyone were recycling most of their garbage: together, we'd be making a tremendous reduction in the amount of raw materials and energy we use—and doing a lot of good for the planet.

What are the different ways of recycling?

Throwing things away is a bad habit; recycling them is a good habit. Recycling isn't all that difficult: it's simply a matter of changing your habit.

Practically speaking, recycling happens in one of two ways. Either your local government authority arranges a door-to-door collection (this is sometimes called curbside recycling) or you take your recycled items along to a local recycling center and place them in separate containers.

The essential difference between a bag of trash and a bag of valuable, recyclable waste is that the trash is all mixed up together and the recyclable waste is sorted out and separated. If you have a curbside recycling scheme, you may be given a recycling box into which you can place certain types

24

of waste (perhaps metal cans, glass bottles, plastics, and newspapers) but not others. When the box is collected, it might be sorted out at the curb. People on the truck will take time to sort through your box and put different items into different large boxes inside the truck. So, when the truck arrives at the recycling station, the waste will already be sorted.

Alternatively, you may see your whole box being tipped into the truck without any kind of sorting.

The truck then takes your waste to a different kind of recycling station called a MURF, which stands for Materials Recycling Facility (MRF), where it is sorted partly by hand and partly by machine (this type of recycling is also called single-stream or comingled). If you don't have curbside recycling, it

News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || SEPTEMBER 20, 2018

helps to sort out your waste and store it in separate bags or boxes before you take it to the recycling center. (For example, you could wash out food tins and glass bottles and keep them in separate plastic bags.)

Which materials can be recycled?

Most things that you throw away can be recycled and turned into new products—although some are easier to recycle than others.

Kitchen and garden waste You can recycle up to half your kitchen and garden waste by making your own compost—a rich, crumbly, earthlike material that forms when organic (carbon-based) materials biodegrade (are broken down by worms and bacteria). Compost is great for using on your garden: it returns nutrients to the soil that help your plants to grow. Making your own is much cheaper than buying compost at a garden center; it's also better for the environment than using peat, which is a threatened habitat. To make compost, you will need a compost heap or a large container of some kind in your garden or yard.

Composting is obviously much easier if you have a garden than if you have an apartment on the 23rd floor of a skyscraper! But even in cities, some authorities arrange collections of biodegradable waste and make compost at a central location. It can take anything from a few months to a year or

more for waste to rot down and turn into compost.

Generally, you need to add an equal mixture of "greens" (vegetable scraps, dead flowers, grass cuttings, and so on) and "browns" (torn up cardboard, small twigs, shredded paper, and that kind of thing).

Paper and cardboard In the early 1970s, photocopier manufacturers got scared that we would stop using paper and turn into a "paperless society." Not much chance of that!

Over four decades later, the bad news is that we're producing more paper than ever before. But the Continued on page 26

good news is that we're recycling more as well.

Unlike some materials, paper can be recycled only so many times. That's because it's made from plant fibers that become shorter during paper-making.

When they're too short, they no longer make decent paper. In practice, this means some new paper always has to be added during the papermaking process.

One problem with recycling paper is that not all paper is the same. White office printer paper is made of much higher quality raw material than the paper towels you'll find in a factory washroom. The higher the quality of paper waste, the better the quality of recycled products it can be used to make.

So high-grade white paper collected from offices can be used to make more high-grade white recycled paper. But a mixture of old newspapers, office paper, junk mail, and cardboard can generally be used

only to make lower-grade paper products such as "newsprint" (the low-grade paper on which newspapers are printed). Corrugated cardboard (which is held together with glue) is harder to recycle than the thin cardboard used to package groceries.

Waste documents are usually covered in ink, which has to be removed before paper can be recycled. Using bleach to de-ink papers can be an environmentally harmful process and it produces toxic ink wastes that have to be disposed of somehow. So, although recycling paper has many benefits, it comes with environmental costs as well.

Metal Most of the metal we throw away at home comes from food and drink cans and aerosols. Typically food cans are made from steel, which can be melted down and turned into new food cans.

Drinks cans are generally thinner and lighter and made from aluminum, which can also be recycled very easily.

Mining aluminum is a very energy-intensive and environmentally harmful process. That's why waste aluminum cans have a relatively high value and why recycling them is such a good thing to do.

Wood People have been reusing this traditional, sustainable material for as long as human history.

Waste wood is often turned into new wooden products—such as recycled wooden flooring or garden decking. Old wooden railroad sleepers (now widely replaced by concrete) are sometimes used as building timbers in homes and gardens. Waste wood can also be shredded and stuck together with adhesives to make composite woods such as laminates. It can also be composted or burned as a fuel.

Glass Glass is very easy to recycle; waste bottles and jars can be melted down and used again and again.

You simply toss old glass into the furnace with the ingredients you're using to make brandnew glass. Bottle banks (large containers where waste glass is collected) were the original examples of community recycling in many countries.

Oil Waste oil from truck and car engines causes huge environmental problems if you tip it down the drain.

It pollutes our rivers and seas, the wildlife that depend on them, and even the water we drink. If you take your waste oil along to a recycling center, it not only keeps our waterways clean—it can also be reprocessed into new products such as heating oil. Waste vegetable oils (made by frying food, for example) can be turned into a useful kind of vehicle fuel called biodiesel.

down—sometimes as much as 500 years. They're very light and they float, so plastic litter drifts across the oceans and washes up on our beaches, killing wildlife and scarring the shoreline. The only trouble is, plastics are relatively hard to recycle. There are many different kinds of plastic and they all have to be recycled in a different way. There's so much plastic about that waste plastic material doesn't have much value, so it's not always economic to collect. Plastic containers also tend to be large and, unless people squash them, quickly fill up recycling bins.

All told, plastics are a bit of an environmental nightmare—but that's all the more reason we should make an effort to recycle them! Different plastics can be recycled in different ways. Plastic drinks bottles are usually made from a type of clear plastic called PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and can be turned into such things as textile insulation (for thermal jackets and sleeping bags). Milk bottles tend to be made from a thicker, opaque plastic called HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and can be recycled into more durable products like flower pots and plastic pipes.

Another solution to the problem could be to use bioplastics, which claim to be more environmentally friendly.

Is recycling effective?

Some people hate recycling; the very mention of it sets their blood boiling! They claim it's a waste of time, money, effort, and energy—with supposedly recycled material often simply thrown away or shipped around the world to developing countries.

According to this point of view, recycling is an example of "feel-good"environmentalism: something people do mainly to make themselves feel better, and which may have a dubious or even negative effect on the planet. In 1996, journalist John Tierney summed up many people's doubts— and ruffled an awful lot of eco feathers— when he wrote, in the New York Times, that "Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America: a waste of time and money, a waste of human and natural resources." Just as you'd expect, environmentalists and recycling champions vigorously refute this.

It's very easy to find statistics from different countries about the benefits of recycling. For example, the US EPA has summarized the positive side of recycling in a single sentence: "In 2006, Americans recycled 32.5 percent of municipal solid waste, which prevented the release of 52 million metric tons of carbon equivalent—the same as

taking 41.2 million cars off the road." [2] But it's often uncertain whether statistics like this take account of the energy consumed (and carbon emissions produced) during recycling collection and processing. What if the recycling process produces more carbon emissions than it saves?

What if it costs more to collect materials than you get back from recycling them? It's obviously vitally important to consider these things.

Studies of recycling A few studies of the effectiveness of recycling have been done. In 2010, the UK government's waste and packaging advisory agency, Wrap, carried out a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of recycling.

It compared seven types of disposal (recycling, landfill, incineration, and so on) for seven different types of material commonly recycled (paper, glass, plastics, and so on). In almost every case, reusing or recycling was the best option, although it's a much more effective solution for some materials than others; in a small number of cases, for example, low-grade waste paper, the report suggested that incineration with energy recovery might be a better option. But doesn't recycling consume energy?

What about all the fuel needed to drive those recycling trucks around carrying old newspapers from place to place? Even taking this into account, there is a net benefit from recycling compared to

landfill or incineration. According to the UK government's 2007 Waste Strategy: "Current UK recycling of paper, glass, plastics, aluminum and steel is estimated to save more than 18 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year through avoided primary material production."

Economics—commodity market conditions—also plays a vital part in evaluating recycling. When markets are buoyant and people are willing to pay more for scrap metal or waste glass, recycling is obviously more cost-effective than when prices are low. Ultimately, the bottom line is that it's rarely better to throw something away than to reuse it or recycle it.

30 Smart Tips to Get Your Home Ready for Fall submitted by Royale Scuderi

Cooler temperatures and pretty soon falling leaves serve as a reminder that the fall season is fast approaching. As the seasons change, so do our activities and home needs. Even though summer is not quite over yet, it’s a good time to do some seasonal maintenance to keep your home running smoothly. The weather can change quickly, especially if you live in a colder climate and you don’t want to be caught unprepared. A bit of attention now will save costly repairs and aggravation later.

Interior Maintenance Check for drafts. Feel for drafts around the edges of windows and doors. A good tip is to use a lighted candle and if the flame flickers, there’s most likely a draft. If necessary, replace seals and repair caulking around window and door frames. Consider buying heavier or insulated drapery for especially drafty windows.

Have your furnace inspected. Hire an HVAC professional to test for leaks, check heating efficiency, and change the filter. They can also do a carbon monoxide check to ensure air safety. It’s also a good idea to stock up on extra air filters and change them every few months.

Winterize air conditioning. If your home has central air conditioning, (and you live in a climate where you won’t need it any longer,) it may be necessary to cover your outdoor unit for winter. If you use window air conditioning units, remove them or cover to prevent air leaks.

Programmable thermostat. Buy a programmable thermostat, if you don’t have one. If you already have one, check the temperature settings. Setting your thermostat to lower the temperature automatically at night and when you’re not home, can result in substantial cost savings.

Test home safety devices. Replace the batteries in all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices and test to make sure they’re working properly.

Clean humidifiers. Replace old filters and clean inside compartment. Vinegar is inexpensive and works well.

Exterior Maintenance Do a roof check.You should be able to do at least a visual inspection of the roof from the ground.

Grab some binoculars to get a closer look or if you’re able and can do so safely, climb on up for a better Continued on page 41

view. Look for missing, damaged, or loose shingles.

If your roof is flat, you may need to remove leaves and debris.

Check the chimney and fireplace. If you have a wood fireplace and use it often, have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional.

Stock up on firewood. Order enough firewood for the season. If you gather your own firewood, make sure it’s dry and ready. It’s best to cover firewood and store away from the house for safety reasons.

Inspect siding. Check home exterior for cracks or holes. Repair them yourself or hire a professional.

Clean the gutters. Hire a service to clear your gutters or do it yourself. Remove leaves, nests, and debris from gutters and check for leaks.

Check water drainage. Rainwater downspouts need to be clear of obstructions and direct water away from foundations, walkways, and driveways.

Add extensions to downspouts if necessary.

Reinforce windows and doors. Remove screens and install storm windows and doors if you use them. Check caulk and seals around all doors and windows.

Turn off faucets and store hoses. Drain garden hoses and disconnect from the outside spigots. Shut off exterior faucets, and if you have an older home, you may need to turn off the valve inside your home.

Store hoses in a dry place so any residual water won’t freeze.

Service sprinklers and irrigation system.

Depending on your climate, your irrigation system may need to be drained and checked. Have a professional perform any necessary repairs and mark sprinkler heads near snow removal areas.

Inspect trees. Check for damaged limbs that may break or that are too close to power lines or the roof.

Trim landscaping. Cut back bushes, shrubs, and flowers as recommended for your climate zone.

Bring in flowerpots. If you keep plants or flower in pots year-round, bring them inside. If you replace plants every year, empty, clean, dry pots and put away for next spring.

Plant bulbs. If you plant bulbs for spring, now’s the time to get them in the ground.

Leaf removal. Rake and remove leaves from the yard. Put into a compost pile if you have one.

Alternatively, put into yard garbage bags and leave at the curb for community pick up. Check with your Continued on page 42

local city or town for requirements and pick up schedules.

Fertilize lawn. Applying fall lawn fertilizer will help prevent winter damage and spring weeds. Ask a local garden center or check online to find out which type of fertilizer you need and when to apply it. If you have a lawn service, they should do this for you.

Put away seasonal furniture. Clean and store seasonal outdoor furniture. Remove and clean cushions. Wash and dry furniture and store in a dry place over winter.

Close the pool. If you have a pool and live in an area where temperatures dip, schedule a service to come and close it for the season or if you know how, buy the supplies and do it yourself.

Organize the shed. As your shed is filling up with summer items in storage it’s a good time to organize and clean out the shed. Move summer items to the back and winter stuff up front for better access.

Also, remove any liquids that will freeze.

In the Garage Service summer power equipment. Empty fuel and clean lawnmower and trimmer. Have lawnmower blades sharpened and oil changed.

Have any necessary repairs done now, so that you’re ready come spring.

Store summer vehicles. If you have a motorcycle, summer car, ATV or other type seasonal vehicle, now’s a good time to have that serviced as well.

Get winter equipment ready. Service snow blower and make sure it is ready to go, especially if you live in an unpredictable climate.

Test the generator. If you have an emergency generator for power outages, give it a test, and make sure it’s in good working order.

Buy extra gasoline. Purchase extra gas to have on hand for use in your snow blower or generator, so you’re prepared for emergencies. Make sure you store gasoline in tanks away from fire sources and out of children’s reaches.

Clean the garage. Since you’re in the garage prepping for fall, you might as well purge, organize and clean it while you’re there!

As you’re enjoying the last bits of summer, make sure that your home is prepared for the coming fall season. Preventative maintenance now will save money on expensive emergency repairs and wasted energy costs. Properly maintaining your home also enhances its value and appeal and is less effort than managing a crisis later. When the chilly weather approaches you and your home will be ready.

Change your light bulbs to LEDs. If possible, wash your clothes in cold water.

Sealing cracks, gaps, leaks, and adding insulation can save up to 10% on home heating and cooling costs.

Clean or replace all filters in your home regularly.

Dirty filters make your system work harder and run longer than necessary.

Use your microwave instead of your stove when cooking.

To ensure your appliances are running efficiently, defrost your refrigerator and freezer before ice buildup becomes 1/4-inch thick.

During warmer months, close blinds, shades and drapes on the sunny side of your home to help keep your home's temperature cooler and reduce the work for you AC. Open shades during cooler months to let the sun warm your home.

oven use more energy to bring the temperature back up.

Use natural light when possible.

Control your fixtures with a photocell or a timer to assure dusk-to-dawn only operation of your outdoor lights.

Don't leave your computer on all day long. Only turn on your computer, monitor, printer and fax machine when you need them.

Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer and as low as possible in the winter. The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall heating and cooling bill will be.

Using your ceiling fan will allow you to raise the

thermostat setting about 4°F with no reduction in comfort.

Refrigerators and freezers actually operate most efficiently when full, so keep your refrigerator and freezer as full as possible. Be careful about overfilling them as this will reduce airflow and cause the appliance to work harder.

Using dishwashers and clothes washers/dryers at night will keep the house cooler, reduce strain on the power grid during the peak usage hours of 4 PM and 6 PM and reduce the chance of an emergency!

dry instead.

Set your refrigerator temperature to the manufacturer's recommendation to avoid excessive cooling and wasting energy.

Don't leave bathroom or kitchen ventilation fans running longer than necessary. They replace inside air with outside.

If your home has single-pane windows, consider replacing them with more energy efficient windows, or adding solar shades or tinting film.

Adjust the thermostat only to the desired temperature. Your home won't heat or cool faster by cranking it up.

Turn off the lights when they're not in use.

Lighting accounts for about 12% of a typical residential utility bill.

Don't leave your mobile phone plugged in overnight. It only takes a couple of hours to charge.

Turn off the oven a few minutes before cooking time runs out. Your food will continue to cook without using the extra electricity.

Avoid placing appliances that give off heat, such as lamps or TVs, near a thermostat.
