October 27th tip: try to avoid using your dry-cleaner. It uses 5000 kw of energy, almost as much as your heater, and a little less than twice as much as your air conditioning (depending on your type of AC or heater). Your computer, in comparison, uses 200 kw, or 25x less. So if you have any laundry lines, this can be a big help to the environment, even if you don't do it for all your clothes.
