Turn off lights, fans,
computers or the TV when you leave the room (unless your little brother is still
in there).

faucets or toilets, and volunteer to help fix those in need of
repair.

Ask your parents to raise (in
the summer) or lower (in the winter) the thermostat a few degrees, telling them it will
save energy as well as money.
-
Lower the blinds when the sun
comes up in the summer, which deflects heat from the windows.
-
Close doors in the winter to keep in
heat.
-
Offer to replace air filters. A clean filter helps the
air-conditioner run more efficiently.
