  • Stop driving %26amp; start walking/ cycling !
  • Turn off lights, fans and other things when not in use. Also, you can change your light bulbs to the energy saver ones.
  • Some easy things are to unplug your microwave and other household appliances. Even when they are not running they use about 40% of the amount of energy they need to run just waiting on standby. Also turn off your printer when you know you won%26#039;t need it for a while it only takes a minute to warm up and you can save a huge amount of energy by not having it on the entire time you are on your computer.
  • turn off lights not in use,
    use the energy cycle on the air conditioner or use a fan if it%26#039;s cool enough
    don%26#039;t use the heat dry cycle on the dishwasher
    use cold water for laundry when possible
    don%26#039;t wash lots of small loads, do less bigger ones
    combine shopping/errand trips to get more done in one trip
  • You can have a habit of turning off the lights when you don%26#039;t use it. Instead of keeping on stand-by, switch off all the electrical items when you are not using. Turn off vehicle engine when traffic jams or waiting at traffic light. Sea vessels also can turn off as soon as finished anchoring or alongside on long waiting ques for supplies or refilling. Use a sail in boats when there is enough wind to sail it. Close the taps when brushing your teeth or shaving. use minimum of all the natural resources. Use renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels. Example: a water pot can be cooked by keeping it in the sun with a light focused by a magnifying glass, so no need for an electric pot or gas burner for that purpose. And stop doing unnecessary things with any source of energy.
