Well, saving energy can be as simple as turning down the thermostat in the winter and putting on a sweater. In the summer, you can turn off the AC and open the windows. Here are some more tips:

Since it is St Patty’s day I have to ask if my favorite driver and the green Amp Energy car will see victory lane this Sunday?

I’m also hoping that the luck of the "Irish" will put Kyle Busch into the wall!

Not this week. Phoenix might be an excellent shot for Jr. to break the losing streak.

My best tips:
For the household, freeze jugs & bottles of water to take up empty space in the freezer…shift some of them into the fridge to take up empty space. Use small bottles of the ice to keep yourself cool on a hot day or in the car instead of using air conditioning.
RIDE A BICYCLE !! around town. Just get baskets for shopping…& it’s fun, too.

Each time an incandescent bulb burns out in my home I replace it with a cfl. I have noticed a huge reduction in my electric bill. Then I started a small compost where I through my leaves after I chop them up with the mower and other things such as egg shells and coffee grounds. In the spring I spread the compost on my flower bed.
