The Thermostat Rules

Warm your house to 68 degrees F on winter days, and to 55 degrees at night or when you'll be out. Install a programmable thermostat to change settings for you automatically. For every degree you lower the heat, you can save 3 percent in energy costs.

Do your part: By one estimate, every 100 households that practice careful thermostat regulation will reduce CO2 output by more than 30,000 pounds - 15 tons - annually.
