Buy energy-saving products in bulk to save money. Ask your co-workers or neighbors if they want to buy pricier green products together -- compact fluorescent lightbulbs, surge protectors, outdoor solar lighting -- and then buy them through an online wholesaler to save money. The more you order, the lower the per-unit-cost will be. Be sure to get everything ground-shipped; it uses less fuel than air shipping.

Do you have a shower curtain and a liner? Most shower curtain liners are made from PVC, polyvinyl chloride, which gives off harmful gases the second you hang it up in your bathroom. Instead, think like you're in a hotel and get a nylon shower curtain; it's waterproof and machine-washable and not made from PVC. The best part? When it looks dingy, just unhook it and wash away. ... Good as new!

When baking, don't preheat the oven too soon when making a batch of cookies. Ovens can be energy hogs, so it pays to prep first, then heat. Also, if your oven needs a good cleaning, use the self-cleaning function AFTER you've baked something. It's already heated up and will take less time for the function to run its course.
