In times of economic challenge, it's important to renew our commitment to saving money in our home. Small things you do around the house can add up to big savings on utility bills - with the added bonus of being better for the planet, as well. Less energy use means less demand for environmentally destructive energy exploration.

Take, for example, your home's thermostat. Where thermostats are located in your home and how you set them can be the most important factors in determining the size of your fuel bill. Something as simple as wearing a sweater instead of turning the thermostat up can make a big difference on your checking account and for our planet.
