1. Reduce your climate by 1˚C
Dimming down your heaters during the winter period by just 1˚C will save us from 225 kilograms of CO2 emissions per year cut your heating bills by 4%.
2. Change a lightbulb
If every home in the UK would switch one bulb to an energy-saving bulb we could shut down one entire power plant rightaway.
3. Stop leaving equipment on Stand By mode
Did you know that if you left your radio or TV on Stand By for a day, they'd still consume energy. Turn them completely off or even unplug them and you'll save 10% of your energy bill.
4. Say No to plastic bags
The 500 million to 1 trillion plastic bags being used every day end up in a landfill and will not degrade for couple of thousands of years. It's not a happy end. Get a reusable grocery tote bag instead.
5. Shop for local food
An average food item in your supermarket has travelled 1,000 miles to get to you. Buy local food to reduce energy wasted on food transportation.
6. Bike or walk, or go public
One bus can hold as much people as fifty cars. Trains even more. Every mile travelled on a public transport means less fuel consumption. Or if you can, take a walk or bike instead and save even more fossils that would pollute our atmosphere.
7. Plant a tree
Trees take in CO2 and pump out oxygen. One tree provides whole oxygen for two people's needs for their entire lifetime. And besides - trees are nice.
8. Sing in the rain
It will be raining more often. Better get used to it. In other words - it's time to be prepared.
