Switch to Energy-Efficient Lighting

Switch to LED bulbs, which use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Look for bulbs with a high Lumen per Watt (L/W) rating to maximize efficiency.

Unplug Appliances When Not in Use

Unplug appliances like TVs, computers, and gaming consoles when not in use to save energy. Many devices continue to draw power even when turned off but still plugged in.

Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances

Consider replacing old appliances with energy-efficient models. Look for the ENERGY STAR label, which indicates that an appliance has met energy efficiency standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Use Power Strips to Charge Devices

Use power strips to plug in chargers, phones, and other devices, which can help reduce standby power consumption. Simply plug the strip into a wall outlet and turn on the device to charge.
