Another great way to save energy is to think about the size of the house you are buying or building. Many people have too big of a house. There's no need to use all those resources when a smaller house will do.

I have a clothes drier which I use inside to hang clothes on (as I live in the UK, where it constantly rains! :-) ) If you open the window to let the damp out, it is a perfectly good way of drying clothes without (a) worrying about the weather and (b) wasting energy using a tumble drier. I have never had any problems with it.
When I was a child, we didn't have dryers. I hated wearing stiff frozen socks to school when my mother forgot to bring them in from the wash line on a winter night before. Having our first dryer was heaven! Now many years later mine broke 3 months ago. I've been using the line ever since. What a difference in the utility bill. I will keep using the line. (It's good exercise too.)
Wow, you really did a good job in saving the energy. I should learn from you!
also unplugging things that are not in use is better than just turning off. when i leave my house the only thing i leave plugged in is the refrigerator.my electric bill for my 2 bedroom apt. is usually below $60 unless i have to run the ac. and also for people living in the north eastern portion of the US or places that use heating oil to heat there homes they can go to SavOnHeatingOil.com to purchase a catalyst that will burn cleaner and less oil. to help the environment and your pocket.
