Save Energy, Save Our Planet!
Be Smart with Electricity at Home!
KITCHEN TIPS:
- Use Energy-Efficient Appliances: Choose appliances with the ENERGY STAR label. They use less electricity and save you money!
- Cook with Lids On: Cover pots and pans while cooking to keep heat in. This helps food cook faster and uses less energy!
- Don't Preheat for Everything: Only preheat the oven when it’s necessary. Many dishes can cook just fine without it!
BATHROOM TIPS:
- Limit Hot Showers: Try to take shorter showers. A 5-minute shower uses less hot water than a long one!
- Turn Off the Tap: Don’t let the water run while brushing your teeth or washing your face. It saves both water and energy!
- Use LED Bulbs: Replace regular bulbs with LED ones in the bathroom. They last longer and use less electricity!
BEDROOM & LIVING ROOM TIPS:
- Unplug Devices: Remove chargers and electronics from the outlet when not in use. “Phantom energy” can waste electricity!
- Use Natural Light: Open curtains during the day and let sunlight in. This reduces the need for artificial lighting!
- Energy-Efficient Lighting: Switch to LED or CFL bulbs. They last longer and are more energy-efficient than regular bulbs!
WORKPLACE TIPS:
- Turn Off Electronics: Shut down computers, printers, and monitors when not in use or during breaks.
- Use Power Strips: Plug multiple devices into a power strip and turn it off when not in use to save energy.
- Be Aware of Heating/Cooling: Adjust the thermostat to a comfortable but not extreme setting. Dress appropriately for the season!
Together, Let’s Make a Difference!
Save Energy, Save Money, Save the Environment!
Every little bit helps!
