(Sacramento, CA)-
Plant a tree: Save 25 bucks. Researchers in California have found that
planting trees in strategic locations around your house can lower your
summertime electricity bill by that much or more. The concept is common

where trees should be placed to help people chip away at their
environmental footprints- and their budgets.
