We've always gone back and forth with how good we are about watching our energy usage. For the last few weeks we've been diligent about turning lights/stereo/TV/etc. off when we leave the room and we've kept the heater at 68 degrees. I thought that last one was going to be a tough one, but now I just layer a little more, and it's fine.
Another thing we do is we have a lot of our lights on dimmers. I think it's cozy to have dim lighting and I like that it saves energy. We got a little night light for the hallway and that makes it so we don't have to turn on the overhead lights as much.
We have some of the energy saver light bulbs, and as more go out, we'll be replacing with those.
Anyone have other tips on saving energy?

We did keep our heater set at 63. But we also live in a smaller place. We use a night light in the bathroom. I open all the shades during the day to let the natural light come in. Plus it helps to heat the house in winter. Our PG&E bill has gone down already, but it might go up a bit, since I'm having a freezer delivered today. It's mainly for my job.
One of the ways we save on our bill and conserve energy is by hanging our laundry to dry. And its kind of fun too!
