Greening tips

• Keep your kettle energy friendly
  When using a kettle, only boil as much water as you need. It will save electricity and the water will boil faster.
• Switch off
  Turn off lights when you don’t need them – it saves energy … and reduces your electricity bill!
• Use energy saving bulbs
  Replace light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs – they can save up to 80% on your next electricity bill and last up to eight times longer.
• Recycle
  Recycle everything you can’t reduce or reuse.
• Save paper
  People worldwide use 1 million tonnes of paper every day. This puts huge pressure on the environment.
• Enjoy the sun
  Turn your home into a clean power station by fitting solar panels on the roof of your house.
• Turn it off
  Do not let the water run while shaving, brushing teeth or washing vegetables. Reuse water from washing vegetables to water house plants.
• Fix dripping taps
  A tap dripping 45 times per minute wastes around 1 000 litres of water a month, the equivalent of 10 baths per year. Fix leaking taps and make sure they are fully turned off.
• Hang it out to dry
  Electric clothes dryers are energy intensive, so if possible, dry your clothes on a clothes line outside in the sun. If this is not an option, drying through spinning is 20 times less energy intensive than with heat.
