Kath, we do too. Our house is always sort of dark. I like it that way. I leave the heat/cool at the most energy efficient setting. We have a new house so that is good for using little heat/cooling. Our heat/electric bill was low this past winter/summer.
We are always turning off lamps and I have unplugged appliances not in use as they still use electricity if plugged in even if they are off. Like your cell phone charger, they pull electricity even if not connected to the phone and so do all appliances. Not much but if you add all your not in use appliances up I guess you x over all the households it adds up. Anyway, I do my small part.rsk
