Make a positive difference - reduce your carbon footprint and live a sustainable life.
It sounds simple but being energy and resource efficient actually makes a difference! Here's how:- Insulate your hot water tank, walls, loft and floors
- Replace the lights you use the most with energy efficient bulbs
- Get on your bike, walk or use public transport instead of travelling by car
- Switch off lights when you don't need them
- Don't leave the TV, computer or stereo on standby - switch them off at the wall
- Recycle and re-use paper, glass, aluminum, tin, plastic, clothing and plastic bags
- Choose an electricity company that uses renewable sources of energy
