"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." 
Anne Frank 

Yes!! Indeed, are you looking for ways to improve the world , or maybe your own environment? 
For me it starts in Spring. I start looking around the house and want to clean it up. 
Go through closets, drawers, the garage. 
Here are some ideas that might just help get you started. 


1. Clean or replace air filters in your air conditioning unit  at least once a month. 
2. Close the vents in the rooms you are not using. This is for heating the house as well as air conditioning. 
3. Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120 degrees. 
4. Wrap your water heater in an insulated blanket. 
5. Turn off unneeded lights when leaving a room.
6. Set your refrigerator temperature at a level that will maintain freshness without sacrificing energy ( 36 to 38 degrees and your freezer at 0- 5).
7. Clean the lint filter in your dryer after every load.
8. Unplug seldom used appliance. 

This is a good start. There's lots of on line help for saving energy and helping the environment. 
Be Inspired,
