  • Cool your body naturally by lowering your pulse to 10 beats per minute
  • Unplug your devices during the 30 minutes per day you are not using them
  • Stuff unused power outlets with paper towels and Kleenex to prevent electricity from escaping from the holes
  • Refer to power as “juice”
  • Explain to the maidens who fan you with giant palm fronds that hard times mean a slight reduction in wages
  • Switch off your distortion pedal to save electricity and let the warm, clean tone of your Fender Jazzmaster shine through
  • Look for tanning beds that have earned the Energy Star label
