REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Adjust the Thermostat

Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your zipcode, and in your state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

Since the weather has gotten a lot colder there isn't really much of a need to sleep with an Air Conditioner on, Cracking a window open can bring all the fresh, cool, air you need. If you don't like the cold, then closing the windows and/or door(s) can help maintain the heat.
Unplugging electronics before you go to sleep is another good way to reduce electricity usage. I unplug all of my gadgets every night to help reduce electricity usage as well as to keep them safe because leaving them plugged in for too long can cause some damage.
