  • Keep cooling devices as far from heating ones as possible. When taking something out of the fridge, make sure you have closed the door.
  • Use Light Emitting Diodes and fluorescent bulbs instead of regular ones. When you walk out of the room don’t forget to turn of the light and every time you leave your home make sure that all the lights are switched off.
  • Save water! While brushing your teeth or washing up, turn off the water when you don’t need it. Buy a sensor water tape to make saving water easier!
  • While using a washing machine, turn on a water or energy saving mode. Try to make a washing machine as full as possible and don’t wash just a few things each time.
  • Try to use a fan instead of air conditioner. Cooling a room takes much more energy than heating it!
