Green Tip of the Day

Consider maximizing the natural light in your home or office by pulling up the window blinds and turning off the lights during the day. Just make sure the sunlight is not causing indoor temperatures to rise to uncomfortable levels, thereby forcing you to run your AC for a longer period.

If you keep the lights off during the day and use natural light instead, you might save $50 to $60 per year on your electricity bills, depending on the wattage ratings of the bulbs you turn off.
