Washer and dryer

  • When washing clothes, wash a full load and use cold water whenever possible.
  • Hang your clothes to dry when possible to save energy.

In the kitchen

  • Wait until you have a full load to run the dishwasher and let your dishes air dry.
  • Use a slow cooker or outdoor grill in summer months to keep your kitchen cooler.
  • Turn off kitchen, bath and other exhaust fans within 20 minutes after you're finished cooking or bathing.
