* Turn off your lights whenever you leave. (turning on and off lights does not waste more power – that is a myth.)
MYTH: Because you live in a newly renovated building like Prospect or Morgan, it's impossible to win the Do it in the Dark competition because your lights automatically go on and stay on.
FACT: You can turn off your lights too by pressing the little button at the bottom of the light switch. You must do your part and turn the lights off when not in use just like everyone else. In reality, these buildigs are at an advantage because a light left on never stays on for more than 30 minutes.
* 'Sleep is Good' Hibernate or shut down your computer. A desktop will use 780 pounds of carbon dioxide worth of electricity in 24 hours
* Turn off TVs, radios and stereos.
