1. Make yourself a list of what’s you can reduce your energy costs and links that can help you cut those costs as well. Start here.

2. Make a separate list of bigger projects. Such as solar panel your roof, or purchase a wind energy machine. Break it down to something smaller or place larger projects on a separate sheet.

3. Next, view your list and figure our where it will save you on energy cost. Such as, shutting your lights off in your home would save you money as well as 1/8th the energy loss in your home.

4. From that same list, figure out a time frame to get these projects done by. Such as larger projects within the year, two years and smaller projects start NOW.

5. Put the items on your list in order of importance of when they will get done by. Also do the projects. Don’t falter on the list and the time frame, really do them.
