Lowering Your Average Electricity Bill Per Month?
One of the best ways to lower your average electricity bill per month is to run all of your electronics through power strips that you can turn off at night. If the electronics are still plugged into the wall on their own, they will be using electricity all night long -- even if you have turned them off. Power strips have an on/off button that can cut off the charge, and they are not susceptible to this same problem. If a power strip is turned off, there is no current. Doing this can cut your electricity bill by a fifth.

How is electricity misused?
Turn off your TV when you leave the room as well as the lights. If you're going to do something "quickly" it usually won't be as quick as you expect so turn off any appliances that are on. If possible, unplug some appliances because even if they're off, they still train little to nothing of electricity if they're plugged in. Get energy efficient light-bulbs and products. Also use as little appliances as possible, especially if you're using more than one. It's either this or that. :D
