Save on your energy bills

This isn't a tip that will result in quick results, but it will make your home more energy efficient in the long run. The tip is to plant trees near your house. Aside from eating CO2 and giving back O2, trees provide shade and this can have a huge effect on your energy usage in the summer if you cool your house. Think long term, plant some trees.
