Last month at the launch of the Anybody Can Serve... So, Let's Conserve campaign I picked up a simple steps door hangar. It included a lot of inexpensive, really easy and quite simple steps you can use to save energy and reduce your utility bills - and no it doesn't involve installing solar panels!

Run your dishwashers only when it’s full;
Use a low flow energy head in your shower;
Wash your clothes in cold water;
Make sure to your water heater is insulated;
Do not allow the thermostat to exceed 120 F;
Turn off and unplug electronics when they are not in use;
Weatherize your home;
Clean dirty air condition filters and keep them clean;
Adjust your heater thermostat down two degrees in the winter and increase it by two degrees in the summer; and
