Great gifts that cut electric bills

     Gifts that help people lower their electric bills are good for the environment. These gifts decrease global warming pollution by decreasing the burning of fossil fuels, like coal, to make electricity.
   To cut down on heating costs, how about a stylish throw blanket for someone’s living room, or an extra warm comforter for their bed?
   Or choose a cozy house coat, or sleek warm underclothes to help someone on your gift list feel comfortable with a lowered thermostat?
   You can buy or make a draft stopper snake, or help insulate an attic. Perhaps you can help someone arrange an energy audit through the electric company and help implement the recommendations.
   To reduce someone’s need for air conditioning, how about picking from the huge variety of fans?
   Compact fluorescent light bulbs make easy gifts to buy, and they help the recipient save about 70% on electricity compared to regular bulbs.
     So this holiday season, give the gift of significant savings on energy while at the same time making a contribution to a healthy environment. Now those are gifts that keep on giving!
