As temperatures begin to drop, we spend more time indoors—and the risk of carbon monoxide exposure can increase. Take a minute to test your carbon monoxide alarms. If you use a portable generator during a power outage, use it outdoors in a well-ventilated area. via @NRECANews

Save time (and electricity) by using your dishwasher instead of washing dishes with hot water by hand! Wash smarter, not harder:
✨ Pre-rinse dishes.
✨ Use your machine’s recommended detergent.
✨ Set dishwasher temperature lower.
✨ Opt for air-dry instead of heated-dry.
