Plant trees. Planting deciduous trees--those that lose their leaves every year--on the south, east or west sides of your house will lower your heating and cooling bills. The trees will shade the house from the sun in summer and let in light to warm the house in winter.
Wash clothes in cold water and line dry. Cold water saves electricity and cleans just as well as hot with most clothes. Today’s soaps are designed for cold water washing. Line drying not only is more environmentally friendly, it also keeps clothes from shrinking and fading.
