LEDs are available in many styles to fit all the rooms in your home and you’ll save even more in the long run because they’ll last up to 20 times longer than standard bulbs. Unplug battery chargers for mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other devices when not in use—they use energy even when they’re not actively charging anything. Group your electronics together on power strips so you can switch them off when you’re done using everything. Save on heating costs by lowering the thermostat to 65-68 degrees when you’re home, and to 58-60 degrees at night or when you’re away. Upgrade to a smart thermostat to make these kinds of energy-saving changes automatically. 1 P.M.- 3 P.M. • SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 RD AT ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL l and speaker Steve Meshke, of the Clatsop County Fish- eries and Parks Department, talks about the new park planned for the area near the ferry landing, and the prog- ress so far.
