Did you know? Buildings and homes 

that save energy can earn the 

ENERGY STAR too! 

It may be surprising - 

it may make you scoff, 

But electronics use energy 

even when turned off! 

A "smart" power strip cuts 

the energy flow, 

When you turn off the TV 

at the end of your show! Did you know when you 

recycle your plastic, 

Its transformation can be 

truly drastic? 

Playgrounds and t-shirts, 

ENERGY STAR Street 

and sleeping bags toR Winding Water Way 

Are just some of the ways 

plastic can be made new.

Leaving the room? 

Is it time to depart? 

Empty rooms like to be quiet and dark. 

Flip off the lights and turn off the TV,
 

Because unused appliances don’t 

need to see!
 If you like to splish and splash,
 

Keep the water on the grass.
 

Streets and paths don't need to be wet;
 

Make good use of each drop of water you get!
 

FUN WITH SAVING MATCH GAME 

Each of us must do our part to conserve,
 

But if two work together, that steepens the curve! 

The trees must stay green; the ice must not melt—
 

So ENERGY STAR and WaterSense are here to help.
 

Cut out the cards, and place them face-down.

 Pick up a card, and flip it around. 

Can you remember the right card to match? 

Two at a time only, please—that’s the catch!
