Opening the windows at night and letting the breeze cool off your home could help tremendously in cutting electricity consumtion. Another tip/trick might be to not turn on all the light in the room. You might have noticed that as you turn on all the lights in a room, the temperature rises.. Great suggestions M.N.

Never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. I live in Texas where the summers are scorching, and my kitchen is teeny tiny, so it heats up fast. Also, I remember seeing on Oprah a special on living green, where they showed different practices to save energy. One was to unplug the electronics, like you said -- an expert said "leaking power," which is used even when it is turned off, uses up a pretty decent amount of energy. People who had started unplugging while not using said they were saving a remarkable amount of money on their electricity bill. They also said switching to those CFC lightbulbs can really help -- they not only last longer, but use a lot less power.
