Make a habit of switching off the light as you leave a room for longer than fifteen minutes. Quite soon this becomes a compulsive habit, and you even start switching off other people’s lights for them!

Walk and cycle
December 9, 2009 in Environment Tips | No comments
There is no better way to get to know an area than by travelling about on foot or by bicycle. As well as proving you with fossil-fuel free travel, walking and cycling are great exercise!

Use your dishwasher effectively
December 8, 2009 in Environment Tips | No comments
A dishwasher can be a great water and energy saving tool, if used effectively.
Fill the dishwasher completely before operating. Partial loads waste electricity and water. Proper loading is important for the dishwasher to work efficiently.
Short wash cycles, rinse-only cycles, mid-cycle turn-off, and other features are designed for energy conservation as well as convenience. Connect your dishwasher to cold water supply unless otherwise directed. Normally only one wash and one final rinse cycle requires hot water which is heated by an element in the dishwasher.
Keep your dishwasher filters free of debris. A blocked filter reduces efficiency and wastes energy.
