Most of the modern houses are being designed to keep them energy efficient so that you can cut down on your electricity bills. This also helps in sending signals to others that you care for the environment. If you already own a home, you still can go green meaning you can make small changes that result in big savings on your electricity bills.

Kitchen is the place where electricity is consumed most. The juicer-mixer, refrigerator, and other items used to cook consume substantial amount of electricity. If you want to go green, you better start from the kitchen itself. You may avoid use of electronic gadgets as far as possible. If you are buying any new appliance, make sure that it carries the energy star compliance logo.

You may replace the heavy voltage tungsten bulbs with the fluorescent ones. These bulbs cut off energy-consumption by over 50 per cent. Use of air-conditioners and fridges can be reduced or set at lower levels to further reduce the electricity consumption.
