You probably know this, BUT

are you doing these things?
From Saturday's N&O, common-sense savings offered by Marvin Woll of Raleigh:
- Wash only full loads using cold water in your washing machine.
- Don't overdry clothes; leave the dryer running longer than necessary.
- When washing dishes by hand, use only a thin stream of water, thus reducing the cost of
heating water.
- Set the water heater at 120 degrees or less; put an insulating blanket on the heater.
- Be sure all doors and windows are properly sealed and, in winter, tightly closed.
- Turn off lights when not in use.
- Reduce time spent in the shower to two or three minutes.
- Turn off televisions when no one is watching.
- Change furnace filters at least every two months.
-Use microwave rather than regular oven when possible.
And we should unplug phone chargers when not in use.
