A small achievement

I got my electricity bill on Friday, and discovered that, somehow, I have become more energy-efficient:
  • My July 2007 reading was 438 kWh consumed; July 2006 was 480 kWh. (This is for two months.)
  • The May 2007 reading was 406 kWh; May 2007 was 449.
The only things I can think of that I am doing differently are:
  • I'm using energy-efficient light bulbs instead of the old-style incandescent bulbs.
  • I unplug my VCR when I'm not using it.
That's pretty much it. I'm not sure how this translates into a 10% saving. But I'm willing to take credit for it.
