1. Add solar panels to your house
→With the plunging price of solar power, and an increasingly diverse group of companies such as Tesla and Forward Labs offering new products, the toughest decision may not be whether to install, but which style and color panels to place on your roof.
2. Get a home energy audit
→A simple home energy audit can show how much energy your home consumes and give you tips on changes that can make things more efficient.
3. Change lightbulbs to LEDs
→Quality LED lightbulbs can last 25 times longer, are more durable, and use at least 75 percent less energy than other bulbs.
4. Ask your utility company about buying clean electricity
→You may not know exactly how much of your electricity is coming from renewable energy, so now is the time to find out.
5. Clean or replace HVAC filters every three months
→A dirty filter on your air conditioner or heater will make the system work harder and waste energy.
6. Use a programmable thermostat
→Instead of keeping your house a constant 70 degrees, invest in an automatic thermostat, which can cost as little $25..
7. Wash clothes in cold water
→Most Americans still wash their laundry in warm water, which costs more money and takes a toll on the environment.
8. Upcycle your furniture
→From shopping cart couches to chairs from old skis, upcycled furniture can be innovative and environmentally smart.
9. Recycle your clothes
→The average American throws away about 80 pounds of clothing a year. Not only is fast fashion wasteful
10. Buy new appliances with the Energy Star label
→When you need to replace a refrigerator or dishwasher, choose an appliance that’s Energy Star certified.
