Top Tips: Your Energy To Do List

1. Wait! Don't Adjust the Thermostat: Too hot in the house? Don't turn up the air conditioning in the summer time, just change into a t-shirt and shorts. Too cold in the winter? Save energy by putting on warm socks and a comfy sweater.
2. Carpooling's Cool: Ask your parents if they can arrange for you to carpool with friends to school, your games and after-school activities. This saves gasoline and gives you more time with your friends.
3. Unplug Yourself: Turn off the tv, computer and radio and go play outside instead on nice days. Make sure a responsible adult knows where you are, and then go enjoy some fresh air!
