Buy a ceiling fan. They use a lot less energy than air conditioners and are easy to install. 2. Eat cold foods like cold fruit or ice cream and popsicles. Iced tea or cold water will also do the trick. 3. Keep your fridge closed; the more it's open, the more energy it uses and the more heat it releases. 4.

Cold water is usually adequate to clean white and colored clothes, unless your clothes have oil or grease stains (in which case, use "warm" instead of "hot" water). In fact, washing clothes in cold water with cold-water detergents allows fabrics to retain their color and strength longer.

Disposable plastic bags can take over a thousand years to break down in landfills. Paper bags pose staggering environmental impacts and enormous energy costs.
