Save energy in your home!
~Chase the “power thieves” out of your house! A lot of household appliances consume much more energy than necessary – even they are switch off. Here’s how:
~Buy an energy-efficient product that requires less electricity for the same output. Check the energy-saving labels of appliances before making any purchases.
~Switch off TV set, video recorders/players, hi-fis, PCs, microwaves, and all the accessories that came with them. They consume electricity- even when in standby mode.
~Households consumes at least 120 kilowatt hours of electricity a year by living their appliances on standby mode.
~Use energy-efficient lighting. Compact fluorescent light bulbs cut power consumption by as much as 80 percent and last 8 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. You can also try light emitting diodes, which last 133 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
~Let your PCs sleep at night. Switch to “idle” as soon as you’re through working, and unplug from the power source once you switch off.
