Energy Saving Tips for Your Kids

Teach your kids to be energy savers! Energy savings can come from simple changes in habits. The following tips can be explained to your kids for them to assist you in reducing your overall energy consumption in your home. 

• Turning off lights and devices when they leave the room. 

• Closing their blinds at night in the winter to keep the cool air out, and closing their blinds during the day in the summer to keep the hot sunshine out. 

• Choosing a shower instead of a bath, and having shorter showers. 

• Only opening the refrigerator door for short periods of time. 

• If your kids are old enough to wash their clothes and run the dishwasher, teach them to operate these appliances only with a full load.
