In my opinion, the best way to save energy is to not waste it. How we are suppose to do this? Simple, first we need to have limited time using electricity on our house, earth day is the example of it but it too much.  Open up your curtains in the morning and let the sunshine in! Using natural light whenever possible instead of relying on artificial light can greatly reduce the amount of electricity you use during the day, when it afternoon set limited time like when sleep doesn't use it, on the night we don't use electricity in the living only bedroom. Replacing regular incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent (CFL) or LED bulbs is a big energy saver. Incandescent bulbs release 98% of their consumed energy through heat, while CFL and LED bulbs are much more energy-efficient and last several times longer. Did you know that appliances that are plugged in keep using energy, even when they're switched off? Even an appliance as small as a coffee pot continues slowly sapping energy every moment it stays plugged in, long after the last cup of coffee has been consumed. I hope you save energy.
