Watering a plant

Summer brings not only the joys of fresh, homegrown food but also the opportunity to save energy and money. Just as a few seeds can yield a bounty of produce, simple actions can lead to significant energy savings.

Watering plants parallels managing energy consumption: both require basic attention for optimal results. Adjusting thermostats and turning off lights are easy steps anyone can take to reduce electricity usage and lower bills.

Cooling homes becomes a major energy expense during summer. As temperatures rise, air conditioners work harder and longer to maintain comfort, contributing to higher bills. However, there are ways to offset these costs throughout the year.
