Run the dishwasher only with a full load.
Run the washing machine with a full load.
If using an automatic dishwasher, let the dishes air dry.
Hang dry some-or all-of the laundry.
Avoid the use of air conditioners altogether.
Turn out the lights in empty rooms and when away from home.
Turn down or turn off the heating at night.
I know it is not just up to you to do these things but please try
