Energy Conservation Tips

This is my favorite area of discussion. I live in Arizona, where electric bills in summer usually run between $150 and $300 per month. These are the steps I have taken to reduce my energy consumption:

•I changed all high-use lights to compact fluorescent bulbs. This required 14 bulbs altogether, at an average cost of $8 per bulb. (Youcan get these super-long-life, high-efficiency bulbs for $4 to $5 each atwww.betterbulbsdirect.com.— MOTHER)

•I switched to hand-washing my dishes rather than using the dishwasher, except for once a week. This also saves on my water bills.
