Maybe there is no better time for us to think about the steps our family can take to protect the environment．In fact，in our daily life，there are many kinds of easy ways we can think of to save money and protect the environment．
Make our houses more airtight （密封的）．If so，it will stop temperature loss and keep the houses warm in winter．
Buy newer fridges and air conditioners，especially when the old ones are more than five years old．New ones can save twice as much energy as old ones．
Change bulbs．LED light bulbs can give brighter light with less energy and can be used for a longer time．
Clothes can be washed clean in cold water with today's detergents．Using hot water takes five times the energy and produces five times the carbon （碳）．
If we all take action to save energy and reduce consumption in our daily life，it will not only save money but also help protect the environment
