Power Strips and Closing Vents

There are a lot of things I do to save electricity at home.

First and most importantly is discontinuing use of my clothes dryer. I hang my clothes to dry, every time.

Recently, I unhooked my dryer vent so I wouldn't be tempted to use it.

Some other smaller things we do to conserve electricity is closing vents in rooms that we don't use, plugging all electronic devices into a power strip that we can turn off so that they are actually all the way off instead of on standby, and using low flow faucets in the showers.
