They've got 10 quick tips on how you can meet that goal on the page as well. Here's the top 5:
1. Use less air conditioning. Close vents in rooms you're not using.
2. Keep your blinds drawn during the day to keep rooms cool.
3. Use your microwave or BBQ instead of your oven. It also reduces your need for air conditioning.
4. Turn off your TV, computer, stereo and any other equipment when you're not using.
5. Run your dishwasher only when it's full.

Wake up tired eyes -Feeling exhausted is bad enough you certainly don’t want to look it, too. For an instant dose of perkiness, add this twist to your makeup routine: Apply your everyday shadow along the contour of your upper lash line, sweeping the powder up and out slightly past the outer corner of your eye. This will produce a subtle cat-eye shape, which draws attention upward, “lifting” droopy eyelids and stealing focus from under eye circles. And a neutral shade like light brown makes this dramatic makeup appropriate for daylight.
Fast relief for sunburned skin -Wiped out from a long drive, you dozed off on the beach and woke up to lobster-red shoulders. Skip the pricey after-sun lotion sold at the hotel’s gift shop and buy a small carton of milk instead. Then grab some ice cubes from the ice machine. Pour the milk and ice in a bowl, dip a washcloth in the liquid and use to pat skin for 10 minutes; rinse. In addition to the instantly cooling sensation, the milk’s lactic acid will penetrate pores to reduce inflammation while it’s proteins and fats hydrate skin to prevent peeling.
Beat bloat and cramps - It figures! Your monthly visitor came a few days early – just in time to put a damper on your weekend away. To prevent the bloating and cramps from hampering your good time, simply add a couple tablespoons of fresh parsley to soups, sandwiches and salads. Homeopathic healers swear by the herb’s natural diuretic properties: it prevents salt from being reabsorbed into bodily tissue and relieves water retention to quickly flatten your tummy. Plus, parsley contains an estrogen component, apiol, which helps regulate uterine contractions to relieve cramps.
Breeze through any workout - If you are like us GGS, the thought of going one more time around the block makes you want to throw in the towel and head home. To give yourself that much-needed push, do as the pros do : Drink cold water 30 minutes before exercise, then continue sipping throughout the workout. The key here is to keep the water cold, so use an insulated bottle or add ice to a plastic water bottle. Here’s why: When cold water enters your system, it reduces your core body temperature, so it takes longer for you to heat up and feel fatigue. In a British study, bicyclists who drank chilled water before and during riding were able to bike 23 percent longer than those who consumed lukewarm liquids.

For a limited time, when you open a CSA and deposit $100 into that it your children will receive a $25 bonus. The CSA works basically like their classic no fee savings account where you get interest that's typically higher than at the big 5 banks and it can be managed entirely online. The twist for a CSA is that parents will be able to setup their kids with their own account login and also select which options the children will have to manage their account which you can change over time as they get old. It's a neat tool that could help them understand how to manage money but even with that aside, a $25 bonus on a $100 account is a very nice incentive.
