Saving Energy

How do I save energy in the home?

Every little helps

This one is easy! It's not difficult to switch off lights or televisions when you leave the room — it's just a matter of getting into the habit.

Save Power

Save energy in your home wherever possible. It saves money and you'll reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released which contributes to global warming.

You may not think that switching off a few lights will make a difference to global warming. However, if everyone in your school did this then a great amount would be saved.

Here are some ideas for saving energy in your home or school. Can you think of any more?

Toilet
Always remember to switch the bathroom light off after you go to the toilet.
Kettle
Only fill the kettle with the amount of water you need.
Computer
Don't leave your computer on after you're finished using it.
Jumpers
If you feel cold try putting on a jumper before you turn up the heating.
