Getting my kids to turn off lights is a daily battle, but it's paying off

I've been trying to teach my kids about saving energy by making a game out of turning off lights. Now they remind each other, and our electric bill dropped last month. What are your tips for getting family on board with climate-friendly habits?

Your electric bill actually dropped?

Totally! It's wild how those tiny changes add up, like @chen.jenny seeing the bill drop proves. I notice it with stuff like unplugging chargers too, just becomes part of the routine.
