Conserving energy is not only good for your power bills but it will also help reduce the carbon emissions that we are releasing into the atmosphere.
Here are a few responsible ways that you can reduce your home’s power usage and conserve energy:
- Wash your clothes in cold water
- Set your computer to automatically switch to ‘sleep’ mode when not in use
- Make better use of natural light like windows and skylights
- Watch less television
- Take shorter showers
- Re-insulate your home
- Use less air-conditioning
- Turn off appliances when they are not in use
- Upgrade your old appliances. Tvs, refridgerators, computers
- Use a lamp instead of a main light when you only need a small amount of light
- Convert to LED lighting alternatives
- Always turn the lights off when you leave a room
- Use an electrical kettle to boil water rather than the stove
- Only run the dishwasher when it is full and use the economy cycle
- Dry clothes naturally rather than in a dryer (This is also better for some clothing)
- Dress appropriately for the seasons
- Insulate your roof
