The following tips listed are little things you can do in your daily life to reduce the financial stress on your wallet and the waste of resources. Think of it this way: a penny can't get your far, but a few pennies a day from a few different sources can finance a vaction over time!

To Increase Fuel Economy & Save On Gas & Maintenance
-Slow your roll. Quick acceleration & deceleration grains your gas tank and wears on your engine and brakes
-Put nitrogen in your tires. Air adjusts with temperature and has moisture, which helps break down your tires; nitrogen is very stable, leaks out 6 times slower, and does not expand or contract with temperature, thus giving you a longer tire life and better fuel economy.

To Reduce Water Usage & Lower Your Utility Bill
-Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth
-Time your showers
-When waiting for hot water, collect the cold to water the plants
-Only run the dishwasher or washing machine when full

To Reduce Electricity Waste & Your Bill
-Use the Air Dry setting on your dishwasher
-Turn off kitchen & bath exhaust fans after 20 minutes
-Plug electronics and small appliances into power cords, then turn off those power cords nightly to reduce energy drain
-Unplug phone and battery chargers when not in use, they pull the same amount of electricity whether charging or not.
-Clean refrigerator coils monthly to remove dust & maintain efficiency

To Lower Heating/Cooling Cost & Your Bill
-Set the thermostat as low as possible in winter and high as possible in summer
-Clean filters and furnaces once a month or as needed
-Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed
-Keep heaters and heating vents free from furniture, carpeting, or drapes
-Open the drapes on the south-facing wall during the day in the heating season to let in the sun's radiant heat
-When the temperature rises, close the drapes on south- and west-facing walls to block out the sun's radiant heat
-Keep all south-facing glass clean
-Don't place lamps or TV sets near the thermostat
-Make sure the exterior vents of the house are open in summer and closed in winter
-Seal around your dryer vent to make sure heat isn't streaming out of the house
