  1. When you paint your office put Insuladd in your paint to save over 20% on energy costs. Developed with NASA technology.
  2. Use compact fluorescent bulbs, which are more energy-efficient than standard light bulbs.
  3. Buy a laptop instead of a desktop computer. Laptops use 15-25 watts while desktops use 150 watts during average use.
  4. Mom taught me if you’re not using it, turn it off: lights, gadgets, all technology.
