1. Turn off your engine. Idling for more than 10 seconds burns more fuel than it does to start the engine.
2. Turn off the water when brushing and shaving. The average person spends 5 minutes brushing his teeth or shaving. On average, 3.75 gallons of water are used during those 5 minutes.
3. Use a compact fluorescent light bulb whenever possible. It uses about 75% less energy and lasts roughly 10 times longer.
4. When going on vacation, unplug electrical devices instead of simply turning them off. They still consume electricity when plugged in.
5. Adjust your water heater temperature twice a year to account for seasonal change.
6. Use rechargeable batteries.
7. For couples with more than one car, use the most fuel efficient one whenever possible.
8. Recycle whenever possible.
