Turning off the lights is probably the easiest action we can take toward conserving energy.  This is soo simple you barely need to think about it.  I know we all want to be rebels against our parents “Turn out the lights!” speech ringing in our ears but apparently they were ahead of themselves in the green generation. 

Ideas or helping with alternative lighting:

 

Burn more candles 

This helps with the romantic side of life as well as it helps you settle down and relax after a hectic day.  See Environmental Tip of the Day for March 25th and 26^th.

 

Open the shades

This helps warm up the rooms as well again saving you money on your heating bill.

Rearrange the furniture

After opening the shades look at your room, can you rearrange the furniture so that your seating is closer to the natural light?  Just sitting n the natural sunlight helps to bring positive energy into your spirit.  Check out Feng Shui Your Life

Install motion sensors

This way you won’t even need to touch a light switch, everything is automatic.

 

The best part about these simple light saving techniques is that we save ourselves money on the electric bill at the same time!  And, who couldn’t use more cash?
