What are 5 things that I will do to be green?

1) Unplug appliances when not in use. For example the WII or toaster.
2) Using eco friendly cleaning products.
3) Only plug my laptop in till its charge and not all night.
4) Try and remember to bring the eco friendly bags to the grocery store.
5) When I wash the dishes on Wednesday nights, turn the water off while scrubbing the dishes.

What are some ways I already save energy?

Throughout our house we have the CFL light bulbs. When we aren't in our rooms, we always turn off the lights. Also our dryer and washer is an energy star product. When it is nice out, we use our clothes line instead of using our dryer. We use cold water when washing jeans. My mom also cleans out the lint thing in the dryer, which makes the dryer more efficient. We have programmable thermostats in our house. I have jeans as insulation in my house and we put another layer on when it is cold, to keep the thermostat at a reasonable level. We also have shades throughout our house to keep it cool during the summer.
