Better late than never! Our goal for March is to find ways to reduce the amount of gas/electric we use.We brainstormed ideas over dinner.
- Turn the lights out when we are not using them
- Get an energy audit of the house
- Continue to use our drying rack ( which Ben is pointing to)
- Continue to use flourescent bulbs
- Put a power strip on my computer so we can turn it completely off
- Graph our energy use for the past year on the MG and E website, so we can see what our use has been.

I like the air dryer- will pick one of these up at Target next time I go. We changed all our bulbs to CFLs this past year. Big difference. Also changed our electric dryer to a gas one, and changed to a more efficient (newer) frig. Lowered our bill by almost $65 a month. Also getting rid of a teenager (sending her off to college) helped a great deal (however the bill that came with college far outweighed our energy savings :)
Julie,
One of the "Kill A Watt" might be helpful in identifying big power drains.

We got our drying rack at Ace Hardware...I love hardware stores!
