Collecting rainwater is not difficult; purchase and install rain barrels to capture the water that would otherwise drain away from your home through the gutters.

| − | You can save energy while doing laundry, too. Use the setting that controls moisture to turn your dryer off as soon as the load is dry. High-spin speeds reduce moisture and shorten drying time. Be certain that you use clean filters for your dryer and also check for a blockage in dryer vents.

| − | Try to turn off things you are not using. When you leave a room, switch off the lights, computer or T.V. The easiest way to do this is to plug everything into a power strip and then just switch that power strip to the off position whenever you need to.

| − | Dress more warmly to be green and reduce energy costs. A thin sweater will provide you with two degrees of additional heat, while a heavier item will add four. There's no reason you can't bundle up in the privacy of your own home, so put on a sweater and cut down your energy bill!

| − | Make sure that your oven's rubber seal is in good order. A compromised seal can allow heat to leak, which requires your oven to consume 50% more energy than it would otherwise. Check this seal occasionally to ensure it remains intact.

| − | Only using the dishwasher when it is full will save you money and energy. Don't run it when there are only a few dishes there. It will likely surprise you how much you can actually put into your dishwasher when you load it properly.

| − | Closely monitor how many watts you are using. Get a watt monitor such as the Watt Minder or the Kill-A-Watt to find out which appliances use too much energy. You can plug in various devices into these devices and see how much energy that item uses for periods of time including a hour, month, and even a year. This can show what your appliance is costing you.
