It's no mystery that there is a ton of useful information floating through Internet space on how to cut energy costs at home. I've probably researched and read well over a 100 articles myself on being more eco-friendly, but I must say that sometimes I stumble across a great resource of information that I have to pass on to you right away.
Gwendolyn Bounds recently provided some fantastic tips with her Saving Energy on the Cheap article over at The Wall Street Journal. I'll often come across articles with what seems like sound money-saving advice on the surface, but then the author fails to offer additional details to help consumers actually enact these changes/suggestions. This is definitely not the case with Ms. Bound's article, which goes in great length to provide both specifics and a map to getting it done.

Items of note:
- Some interesting statistics from her own adventure in reducing energy consumption—"I saved about $86. Keeping that up, I'd be on target to save roughly
$500 -- or nearly 40% of last year's electricity bills -- over the next
12 months."
- Practical advice is the best kind in my opinion, and her suggestion of increasing cold-water washing netted a 20% reduction in the cost of washing laundry.
- My favorite aspect of the article is that she provides links to specific products that will help you actually be energy efficient, not just hope that your electricity bills will magically disappear.
