Additions by John Riggs: Design you future rather than wait for it to occur.

1.Have the energy company do an energy waste control program audit-check for leaky windows, put in gaskets around electrical outlets and plugs, seal leaky doors, check for appropriate insulation levels, check around sinks to ensure caulking, etc. Some do this for free.
2.Raise your thermostat.
3.Learn solar cooking.
4.Turn off the lights when no one is in a room. Use "turn off-sensor" units which are available for those who are "switch-challenged".
5.Install window quilts-window quilts are insulated quilts that can be rolled up when desiring outside light and rolled down at night or during the day when no one’s home. They keep heat out and cool in. These are especially useful on sun facing windows.
6.Plant trees in sunny areas-trees keep the sun off during hot weather and when the leaves fall off let the sun through during colder times.
7.Green your building.

Ideas are welcomed.
