Save a Little, Save a Lot! Turn off those lights:
Did you know that turning off all the lights in your home before taking a trip of 2 hours is equal to making $50 an hour! Attaching items to a power strip or unplugging unused appliances and energy sources (even before you go to bed, then cut them on in the morning) saves time and money. So—turn them off!
Check your summer calendar:
Check an events calendar to find out what’s happening in the area. Local news or radio stations, as well as Facebook Events, often have these links on their websites.
