That&#8217;s it&#8230; even turning off the lights counts! With all of these actions, you&#8217;ve made a contribution to a greener world just by decreasing the amount of energy you use.<\/p>\n<p>ENERGY STAR&#8217;s been helping you make these choices for twenty years, and to celebrate, they&#8217;ve launched a number of cool apps for sharing your story about cutting your electric and gas bills. Check out the video above, and then visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/index.cfm?fuseaction=globalwarming.showPledgeHome\">Change the World<\/a> page to join in the fun. If you&#8217;re a bit behind on your energy saving activities, no problem: remember that good habits are easier to form with the support of others, and you can get that support through the interactive tools ENERGY STAR offers.<\/p>\n<p>Already shared a photo or video with the ENERGY STAR community?
