We have recently changed most of the lightbulbs in our house to the energy saving bulbs. I’ve also switched to doing most of our laundry in cold water instead of warm and hanging t-shirts, I’m hoping these three changes will help cut the electric bill and will make my daughter’s cute t-shirts last longer (at least until she outgrows them).
