  • Hang clothes out to dry.
    • Using fresh air rather than your dryer saves you energy and money while giving your laundry a fresh, clean scent.

  • Use phosphate-free detergent in your washer.
    • Choosing phosphate-free detergent reduces the growth of blue-green algae in our rivers, lakes and streams which can lead to poor water quality and closure of beaches.

  • Install ENERGY STAR lighting and appliances wherever possible.
    • ENERGY STAR lighting and appliances are rated among the most energy-efficient and save you money in your energy bills.
