I don't know about you, but we have sure noticed an increase in our utilities bill over the past several months. As a family of five we look for ways to save money, which is why I was excited to learn more about the new Energizer campaign!
Beyond helping Habitat for Humanity, Energizer is doing something above and beyond to help us all out! Understanding how we are all affected by the rising costs of utilities (especially if we have a hot summer ahead), Energizer and Habitat for Humanity have partnered with an Energizer Utility Cash program. With this program, you can collect codes from select Energizer battery and lighting products, and redeem them online for savings (up to $25 total savings each per person/household/email address, of your utility bill!
How does it work you ask?! Well, you start earning rewards with just two codes and will need 10 codes total to earn the full $25. Or you can help make a positive impact and choose to turn the codes into a donation to Habitat for Humanity if you like as well.
I thought this sounded like a great program and I was excited when asked to share about it with all of you. To get started, we were sent two specially marked packages of Energizer MAX AA batteries. Once a person collects all the codes, they can go to www.nowthatspositivenergy.com/utilities to enter them (you must enter all your codes at one time). The great news is... you have time to collect 10 codes because the last day to redeem codes isn't until 3/31/13 at 11:50 pm ET!!

We often unplug things not in use.
We use powerstrips to turn power off at night!
No air conditioners in the summer:)
We try to be good about turning off lights we're not using and keeping the thermostat at a reasonable temperature.
Turn off lights and electronics when not needed.
We use higher cost appliances during off peak hours, saving up to use them most efficiently, like full loads of wash, then line drying.
we leave the ac off as much as possible djackson1958@hotmail.com debbie jackson
I use ceiling fans instead of the A/C as much as I can.

We monitor our thermostat and it has a monitor to do so. My husband especially loves to keep it lower and we put on a sweater. I try to get things done in one trip in the car instead of 3 or 4 to save on gas money. Rita Spratlen rjspratlen@gmail.com
Unplug, shut off lights, appliances, air conditioning - when not needed.
We unplug things in the morning when we leave for work. And replug things back in when we are going to use them.
In the summer, I do more cooking outside and do my canning outside, so the airconditioner won't have to run so hard. And in the winter we use wood for heat. =)

Most of our appliances are Energy Star, and we try to use CFL bulbs and keep lights off when we leave a room.
Turn on A/C only when needed.
