More ideas for saving energy at home
- Electricity: Switch off all radios, televisions and anything else that uses electricity (except, of course, the fridge and freezer!) when you're not using them.
- Lights: Only switch on the light if you really need it!
- Fridge: Close the fridge door properly. Cold air escapes quickly. It takes a lot of electricity to reduce the temperature again.
- Computer: Shut down the computer completely after use. Don't just log off!
- Travel: Walk or cycle to school if you live close by.
- Heating: Keep the doors in your house closed. This stops heat escaping so you don't need to use as much energy on heating!
- Shopping: Help your parents with the shopping. Look for energy saving bulbs instead of regular ones. Look out for the recycled sign on products - see the picture below.
