Energy saved is money saved. The following steps will help in saving energy and also help in having a clean and green surroundings.
Shut down your computer:
Considerable energy can be saved if the computers are shut down when not in use.
Cover the vessels when cooking:
By covering the vessels when cooking, heat will stay inside the vessel, leading to saving of energy.
Use LED lights:
Instead of ordinary bulbs, use LED lights. This will reduce the energy consumption. This will also lead to saving in electricity charges and also saving in purchase of lights as LED lights last longer. The heat released to the atmosphere will also be reduced.
Plant trees:
Plant more trees in the surroundings depending on the availability of space. A tree is supposed to absorb one ton of carbon di oxide in its lifetime. The shade provided will make the environment cooler and thus reduces the consumption of electricity for the air conditioners up to 15%.
Use clothesline instead of a dryer.
One dryer releases an average of 500 kgs of carbon di oxide into the atmosphere every year. If you use a clothesline for drying, you will be able to reduce considerable amount of carbon di oxide release and also reduce the energy consumption.
