1. Unplug and power down at night.

Your appliances could use a rest too! Powering down at night will save tons of energy and wasted dollars on your electric bill. (Sleep mode doesn't count!)

2. Conserve that precious H20.

Don't be one of those annoying tooth brushers who leaves the water on. Turning off the tap will save you about eight gallons of water a day!

3. Switch to cloth napkins.

Eco-friendly cloth napkins will not only save you money but also make you look WAY fancy and sophisticated.

4. Start composting.

Composting has loads of benefits, including improving landfills and soil quality. It's also a cheap and easy way to get rid of your biodegradable waste.

5. Make your own cleaning products.

Counters looking grimy? Common household ingredients like baking soda and white vinegar can often do the trick.

6. Use energy-efficient lightbulbs.

Using compact fluorescent lightbulbs prevents tons of greenhouse gases. Going green can brighten up your world, and your home!

7. Plant trees and shrubs around your house.

Plants not only improve the air but also provide some cool shading on your home so you can save on AC in the summer.

8. Seal your windows and doors to prevent cool drafts.

Winter can bring a drafty breeze. Seal your windows and doors to save on heating costs and emissions.

9. Collect rainwater in a bucket for watering plants.

Rainwater is free! Create eco-friendlier garden by filling your buckets when it rains to use later on for plants.

10. Bundle up (or cuddle up) before you consider cranking up the heat.

Think twice before you adjust the thermostat; it'll help the planet and your electric bill.

11. Get some good reusable kitchenware instead of using disposables.

Cut down on trash in landfills with reusable kitchenware. It'll make for an easy and environmentally-friendly cleanup!
