Turn off the lights!!!

Looking for a little advice from my readers. My household wastes tons of electricity by not turning off the lights.

No matter how persistent I am, they leave switches on. The waste isn't as bad as it used to be. I switched all the abused lights to cfls, so there isn't as much waste.

How can I get the kids and wife to turn off the lights? Please help. I am desperate.
