Turn down the thermostat especially when leaving your house and at night. Consider installing a timer so you don't have to remember to do it yourself. Set the temperature as low in the winter and as high in the summer as your comfort allows. Replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs which are up to four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same light levels. They also last up to nine times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. Turn off lights in any room you're not using, or consider installing timers, photo cells or occupancy sensors to reduce the amount of time your lights are on. Clean or replace filters on your furnace, air conditioner and heat pump regularly. Wash full loads of laundry using cold water when possible.

Her play, "A Wake on Chappaquiddick," held its first staged reading last weekend at the Cape Cod Theater Project in Famouth and drew strong turnouts all three nights -- "and we were competing with Harry Potter," Provenz quipped. Contrary to what some may expect, Provenz did not approach her subject from the perspective of classic Kennedy hater -- far from it.
