As summer comes to a close and routines pick back up, it’s the perfect time to reset your habits – including your energy habits. Whether you’re helping kids get ready for school or just getting yourself out the door, a quick morning checklist can help you save energy without slowing you down.
Fill your checklist with to-dos like:
- Time your shower to save on hot water and energy.
- Turn off the lights in empty rooms.
- Power down electronics.
- Unplug chargers and small appliances.
Energy use tends to spike on busy weekday mornings, but small actions like these can lead to noticeable savings on your energy bill. They’re simple, practical and easy to make part of your daily routine with the help of a handy checklist.
