Tips for your automobile

1. Drive the speed limit!  Keep your speed steady, and use your cruise control whenever possible.
   

2. Consolidate your trips.  Wait a few days and save gas by making fewer trips.
   

3. Check your tires for proper inflation.  Your car will drive better, and your tires will last longer.
   

4. Avoid the drive-thru window.  Park your car and go inside to pick up food.  Not only does idling waste gas, but it may be quicker!
   

5. Replace your air filter at regular intervals.
   

Tips for your home

1. Use cloth shopping bags.  They usually cost $1.00, and many stores will credit you five cents every time you use them.
   

2. Utilize your city’s curbside recycling program.  Most do not require you to separate.  You’ll be surprised how much you can recycle every week.  Save money by using less trash bags.
   

3. Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120 degrees.  Wash your clothes in cold water whenever possible.
   

4. Buy a reusable filter for your HVAC system, and clean it once per month.  They usually run no more than $20.00, and can be sprayed off with a garden hose.
   

5. Put your computer to sleep, or turn it off when you will be away from it for several hours.
   

6. Replace all the light bulbs in your home with CFL bulbs.  They cost less than $2.00 each, and they use 1/4 of the energy and can last for seven years!
   

Tips for your office

1. Recycle your office paper.  If your workplace does not have a recycling program, start one!  Recycle newspapers, bottles and cans in your break room.
   

2. Do not print documents unless absolutely necessary.  E-mail documents, or post them via the company intranet.
   

3. Bring your lunch to work.  Not only will you save money by not going out for lunch, you will save gas.
