ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

BE ENERGY AWARE!

Turn o the light when there is no one in the room.

Take a short shower instead of a bath - you’ll save water as well as the energy needed to heat it. Make a ‘no-cook’ meal once a week - create a dish that uses no energy to produce. Have a ‘no energy’ family night - read together, tell stories, play board games etc.
