Do Just One Thing
Sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases can take a lot of energy to dry because they're bulky and hold plenty of water. Instead of sending them through the dryer, hang them outside on a clothesline or drying rack when weather permits. Air-drying uses no electricity or gas, while also avoiding the heat and tumbling that can contribute to fabric wear, shrinking and lint. And because you're skipping the dryer, you can save more than $100 a year on energy costs -- enough to buy a new set of sheets!
