10 quick and simple changes which can have a big difference

• Say no to standby - turn it off by the wall
• Only Boil the amount of water that you need
• If you feel cold, throw on a jumper. Not only will this save the planet but it will also save you hundreds in heating bills
• Turn your router off at night
• When in the supermarket, buy local. The closer the origin, the less impact on the planet
• If you can't buy local food, buy fairtrade!
• Get an electricity monitor - it's easy to install and shows you how much electricity your using at any given time
• wash clothes at colder temperatures - most washes don't need hot water anyway
• Pay bills etc. online if you can to save trees, transport fuel and stamp money
• Put someone in charge of making sure your not wasting electricity each week and have a competition with your family/housemates to see who can get the lowest weekly unit usage - this is especially good if your ridiculously competitive like me...
