you save about $50 a year on your electric bill. It is important to
teach your kids at a young age how they can conserve energy. Saving
energy should start at home.
Buy energy-efficient home appliances. You can use
compact fluorescent
bulb instead of incandescent lights. You might need to spend a few
dollars more to buy fluorescent lights but your small investment would
eventually pay off in the long run. Fluorescent bulbs would use up only
10% of the usual energy consumed by standard light bulbs. Not only would
this help you save energy, it can also save carbon dioxide.
 If you can replace the use of machine and do some physical activities to
work out your muscles, which would not only save a lot of energy but can
also keep you healthy and active. For example, instead of using the
lawn
mower, you can take care of your garden manually and give your plants
some personal care.
