From simple things like switching off unnecessary lights and having a shower instead of a bath, to more drastic measures such as installing a condensing boiler.
If everyone acts on just a few of these suggestions, we can save money and help slow down climate change.
Were all using more and more energy: charging up our mobiles and laptops
keeping our rooms hot
leaving lights on day and night whether we are using the rooms or not
The consequences of this is causing our climate to change and our energy bills to rise.
Did you know that:
- Just lowering the temperature of your thermostat by 1 degree C can reduce your energy bill by 10%
- Energy-efficient light bulbs last about 12 times longer than ordinary bulbs, and consume about 1/5th of the energy
- Our home produces even more CO2 emissions than our cars
- If we didnt leave our TVs and other gadgets on stand-by, two power stations could be shut down
