=o= Save your money.  Here's some free advice:

  o Replace your incandescent bulbs with compact flourescent
    bulbs.  I highly recommend the Phillips and Osram/Sylvania
    brands -- see recent postings to alt.save.the.earth for
    details.

  o If you need to replace any major appliances, get new models
    with energy-saving features.  If you're stuck with any old
    appliances, take a look at the energy-saver devices that
    you plug in between the wall outlet and the appliance.
    These do the energy-saving power management that the newer
    energy-saving appliances do.  (Don't buy these if you've
    already got energy-saving appliances, that's a waste of
    money.)

  o Do you have a stereos or TV (or any other electronic gadget)
    that you can power on with a battery-powered remote control?
    If so, this gadget is using a surprising amount of
    electricity when it's "off," because part of it's turned on
    24 hours a day, waiting for the remote's signal.  I put all
    of these things on a power strip, and I turn the power strip
    off when I'm done with them.

  o I expect some of us have computers. :-)  If yours has green
    power management, make sure it's enabled.  Turn off your
    monitors completely when you're not using them.
