Shrink Energy Waste

Conserving (saving) energy means not wasting energy. There are many ways that you can conserve energy at home, school, and in the community. 

Examples of simple ways YOU can shrink energy waste are:

	Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room. Turn off computers, TVs and video games when you are done using them.
	Did you know that when appliances are plugged in and turned OFF, they are still using energy? As much as possible, remember to unplug appliances when not in use and save your family money! Energy vampires waste approximately 10 billion dollars’ worth of energy a year in the US.
	Play outside. Jump rope, sports and other activities are great ways to shrink energy waste!
	In cool weather, wear a sweater instead of turning on the heater. Keep your thermostat to 68 degrees in the winter and 78 degrees in the summer.
