Habit changes for reducing electricity use

[tortoise]

How do you train children to turn lights off? They know better, but don't remember. I'm correcting them every day and turning lights off constantly.

Sometimes I turn circuit breakers off (such as to their bedrooms), but that doesn't work for me for living areas.

What about just killing the main breaker 😅 seriously though. Switching all lighting to LED, was the only thing that really showed a savings on the electric bill. And... I realize I just violated the rules for this thread.

I don't know if you know this or not but my wife is legally blind at night, so lights are a must for her. And she'll turn into a pumpkin if she drives after dark. I can't begin to count the number of times I've had to go and rescue her because she got caught up in traffic or something.

What about motion sensors on the lights?

for kids that works pretty well. for me. i'm good for sitting here in the dark. heehee.
