As the thermometer climbs this summer, be aware of steps you can take to conserve and reduce energy. Closing window shades, dressing in light, loose layers and setting indoor thermostats at 75 degrees or higher will help keep energy costs and consumption low.

Middle Tennessee also will experience more Air Quality Alert days, so consider taking mass transit, carpooling or riding a bike to work to do your part to keep Nashville’s air pollution levels as low as possible.
