Change One Thing

Cooking with a crock pot on low often uses less energy than the oven.
Computers and other household electrical appliances use electricity even when they are not in use. Instead of leaving on standby, power off. A computer monitor uses 60% of the power used by a computer.
Increase your lighting efficiencey - compact flourescent bulbs are four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same lighting.
Using heat in your dishwasher's drying cycle uses twenty percent of the machine's total electricity use! Save this by turning off the drying cycle manually and let the dishes drip dry.
Set your fridge between 2 - 4 C (36-40 F) for optimal food storage and energy conservation.
