Looking for an energy-efficient Thanksgiving dish? Try canned cranberry sauce! Just don’t use an electric can opener. Save energy. Embrace the hand crank and terrify your guests. 🦃 🥫

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

Thanksgiving is approaching, which means you may be spending time in the kitchen. Save money and energy; don’t tower your power. Wait to do laundry and run the dishwasher until later in the evening or overnight.

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.
