Most electrical co-ops and municiple utilities offer free energy screening. They send someone who is experianced out to observe and run some tests. They have the equipment and experiance to make recommendations that you can adopt, can recommend programs such as the lighting suggestion offered above and generally save you money while helping you with your concern. It is an exellent place to start. I had them come out to my home when I moved in and followed their recommendations and saved about 13% on my monthly bill, bought a new fridge to replace the one in the house which we didn't like anyway, also a programmable t-stat for the A/C system and recieved a discount on them through the electic company. Responsibility in the shop is a start but remember your home to. No matter someone's views on global warming these can be money saving as well as help out your utility company which keeps rates down for everyone.
