Fall weather is almost here, which means many of us are heading outside to tackle yardwork.

Before you trim trees or clean up your yard, look up and stay aware of overhead power lines. Keep ladders, poles and tree branches at least 10 feet away from power lines and never attempt to trim vegetation growing near electrical equipment.

Did you know that electronics keep running even after you turn them off? It’s estimated that 75% of the energy used to power household electronics is consumed when they are turned off. To truly stop the energy currents from flowing, you need to unplug the devices. If you don’t want to go around your home unplugging every individual device, use power strips to disconnect multiple items at once.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from online scams is by using strong passwords. While many people focus on complexity—adding symbols, numbers and capital letters—password length is equally important. A longer password or passphrase is harder for cybercriminals to crack. Create memorable phrases made up of several unrelated words and avoid using personal information like birthdays or pet names. Use a unique password for each account and enable multi-factor authentication when possible. via NRECA

Answer: A
Set up multifactor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to your accounts. MFA requires more than one way to prove the person logging in is really you.

In addition to entering your password, you might receive a code to your phone, or use an authenticator app. That way, even if someone steals your password, MFA helps keep your accounts protected.

If you’re using hot or warm water for your laundry cycles, you could be burning (no pun intended) more energy than what’s needed. Try washing your clothing in cold water, especially those items that only need a light refresh. As an added bonus, you may start to notice less color bleeding, fading, and shrinkage in your clothes after switching the water temperature.
