How can i save power in my home?

1.How can i save power in my home, and make it more climate smart. Also what are some natural cleaning products i can make and use?
2.My electric bill seems to be just as high even with the change of time.Who saves in the event of observing daylight savings anyway?
3.Does that defeat the idea of saving power or did I miss something here?

take out plugs from socket when you are not using it.
turn off lights when you leave a room
.don't leave unused electrical things on standby(still using power).

What about the fridge and freezer??!!
Shut all lights off when nobody is home and switch to energy saving light bulbs.

Things you can do:
1. Put a timer on your electric water heater. Adjust it so that it heats water only while you are home and are awake. You don't want to heat water while you are asleep or at work. There's enough thermal mass to keep the water warm enough for quite a while.
2. Turn off all lights. Change to CFL or LED lights where practical.
3. Don't heat or cool the home while you are away. Adjust the thermostat so that you are not heating or cooling the house to comfort levels but heat to about 65 and cool to about 85.
4. Don't overload the electric dryer.
5. When baking in the oven, turn it off about 5 minutes before the food is done. The food will still cook with residual heat.

Keeping the heat and air conditioning off whenever you can is a really good idea. Where I live we are on propane and our heat pumps are run by that and electricity. Using them is a double wamy! We save so much electricity by not using them. Right now I am electing to use small heaters for each room I am in too.
Replacing light bulbs with CFLs is a good idea too. Some are a little warmer than others. We also somehow manage to keep use of large appliances like the dishwasher and washing machine/dryer to a minimum - but that can be hard to do.
