Energy Use and Plan

For my project where I am trying to save energy and ultimately reduce my families electric bill. I chose to not use the dishwasher for our dishes, but rather hand wash and dry them. I also am going to try to turn off lights when ever i leave a room and make sure that the rest of my family is doing the same. The idea of not using the dishwasher is not very hard as long as you keep up with it and don't let the dishes pile up. Also the idea of turning off the lights is a very easy idea. We are not too lazy to do that but we just forget sometimes. If we just focus on the little things, then we will be able to save a good amount of money very easily.
