Today is “National Cut Your Energy Costs Day.”  How many ways to save energy can you explain in your writer’s notebook in ten minutes?

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  multilingual (adjective) – this adjective can be applied to a person who speaks multiple languages.  The Latin root for tongue is lingu, which is why linguistics is the study of language and how the tongue (and mouth) create sounds.  What other words come from this Latin root?
