    • You know another way is to turn off hot water heater during the day, usually
      it stays hot for a long time , turn on in evening for baths. I live in south Georgia
      and it's been really nice out, I have been opening my windows and turning off the central heat.i have spring fever so bad, I can't wait to start my veg garden.
      It's still a little to early to plant, since i usually buy plants rather than seeds.
      It's cheaper.

    • I'm seriously considering drying my clothes on a clothes line now that fair weather is around the corner. I'm changing up my way of cooking,to use as
      little electricity as possible, one pot meals, combining meals with other family
      members, been wearing more clothes indoors this winter, larger wash loads.

    • Another way of cutting your electricity bill is to get together as a community (like it would be a whole state, or half a state or a couple counties, anyways) raise money to build your own power plant orrr buy an existing one and run it the socialist way (like the post office), I bet your bill would be cut in half or lower

    • Another great way to reduce heating bills is to put on a sweater and lower that thermostat. For every 1 degree F. lower you can save 3% on your energy bill. And that savings grows even greater the lower you go.
