Think green ... live clean - save energy, save the planet
To save energy at home, focus on reducing consumption and improving efficiency. You can make a difference to our environment without leaving your house, so why not start with your energy use?
Small changes at home can have a big impact on our planet - every switch you flip and every appliance you unplug can make a difference.
- turn off lights when you leave a room
- unplug devices when not in use
- switch to LED bulbs
- lower your thermostat by 1°C
- wash clothes at 30°C and air dry when you can
- only boil the water you need
Remember to turn off appliances by switching off at the plug when you're not using. Many devices continue to draw power in standby mode, a phenomenon known as "phantom power" or "vampire power". This seemingly small amount of energy use can add up, contributing to higher electricity bills and a larger carbon footprint.
These simple habits help reduce carbon emissions and cut down on fossil fuel use - plus, they save you money!
By making mindful choices, we reduce demand on fossil fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Let's power our homes with purpose and inspire others to do the same.
Saving energy at home isn't just good for your wallet - it's a powerful way to protect our planet.
