Turn Off Your Electronics. While this should be done on every date, this occasion can be extra special by turning off your phone and television. That way you can spend uninterrupted time with your Valentine and save energy at the same time.

Cozy Up. What better way to end the evening by turning down the thermostat and grabbing a blanket to cuddle up together. Lowering the thermostat can save you money on your energy bill during cooler months.
