The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

  1. Turn off the lights when your not in the room. Open the curtains on cold sunny days. Use the sunlight where you can.
    You can save a lot of water and get exercise too by doing your business in the woods or a corn field.

  2. Turn lights off when you leave a room. Turn off computer at night. turn off tv when you leave a room for more than two mintues.

    Turn water when brushing teeth before mouth wash. Shorter showers. Take a bath.

    Put more clothes on like a sweater or sweatshirt. Keep your socks on until you go to bed.

    Don’t buy useless junk from the stores.

  3. Biggest energy saving is insulation. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings – even floors. Preventing heat loss is the most significant way to cut your energy bills.

    One of the biggest electricity savings in many houses is to replace the old refrigerator and freezer with the MOST energy efficient A++ models. I did this in February 2008 and reduced the energy usage of my fridge by 90%. I am heading for an annual saving of 700kWh for this one change.

    Another big opportunity is to avoid using the tumble dryer. Hang your clothes out to dry on a line in your garden or on a clothes horse indoors.

    Then remember what everyone else is telling us about switching things off. Never leave computers / TV / hifi on standby. Find all the DC power supplies (little black boxes, such as phone chargers) that are plugged into the mains in your house and ensure that you unplug them, or switch the socket off, when they are not in use.

    For water, reduce the flush volume of your WC using a brick, a plastic bottle or a Hippo water saver. Avoid baths – take showers. When showering, try to run the water for no more than 2 minutes. This is called a Navy Shower and it’s perfectly comfortable once you’ve practised a couple of times:

    Wet your hair first. Turn the water off while you leisurely apply the shampoo and lather up. Turn the water on to rinse out and then turn it off again while you soap your face and neck. Water on for a quick rinse to open your eyes then off again while you soap your body. Take as long as you like while the water’s not running! Finally, rinse everything and feel great that you’ve got yourself clean and new without wasting water or heat.

    Financial savings: about 30% of your domestic energy bills. The payback time on your investments in insulation and new appliances will vary dependent on the price of fossil fuels. The faster and farther they rise, the quicker your investment will pay back. And it will go on paying indefinitely, even when you sell your house (improved energy efficiency will dramatically boost the selling price).

How can you conserve electricity, water, heat, and money?
