My Update So Far!

Over the last week I've tried my best to try and save energy. I observe that many lights stay on during the day, when no one is occupying that room. When I come across a light that doesn't need to be on I make sure to turn it off, so that we can save as much heat energy as possible. When I leave my room, I try my best to turn the light off, as well as when I leave rooms where I've turned on separate lamps. Also, I believe I've been good at unplugging my chargers from the wall. For example, when I charge my laptop, I use to leave the charger in afterward until I needed to charge my laptop again. As you can imagine, the charger used to be in for a good portion of each day, but lately I've been unplugging it when I am done charging my laptop. Also, I make sure that if there are any other plugs in, that I unplug them and put them away if they don't have any devices connected to them. So far, it's going fairly well!!! In the future I'm hoping to involve my family more in this activity. I've told them to try and turn off the lights in the house when they're not needed times before but I would like to involve them in the other aspects of the energy saving goal as well. :) This week I'll try to not waste as many liquids, such as water, or a drink. I will make sure that we recycle all we can, which we may do already, and make sure we don't watch as much TV. The TV's important, because it makes up a good portion of the electricity we waste.
