It's getting to that time of year where thoughts of wind and high heating and energy bills come to mind. The average household spent more than $5,100 on all energy costs in 
2007 (the most recent year with figures available) including home energy bills and gasoline purchases. Catholic social teaching calls for us to be good stewards of the earth because all of creation is a gift from God. Being energy conscious can help save our planet and save you money. When you make energy efficiency part of your everyday activities, you are reducing energy demand. This reduction means that less natural gas coal and other resources are needed to produce energy. And this means less greenhouse emissions and cleaner air for all of us and cost savings for you. Most of us know the common ways to save money and energy: Turn off everything not in use. Replace furnace and AC filters regularly. Save water heating costs by cutting the length of your shower. Seal and weather strip your windows and doors. Avoid wasting energy that is lost through leaks. Improve your windows, appliances and electronics with energy-efficient models that carry the Energy Star label. Lower your thermostat at night and when you're at work all day. For additional information visit www.energyhog.org or www.ase.org.
