THREE WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY AROUND THE HOME

In a time when the world is trying to save its natural resources, it is easy for many of us to help by using less energy in our houses.

Take, for example, standby switches on TVs. Many people don’t realize that when you aren’t watching it, you might still be using electricity. All you have to do is switch it off at the plug when you go to bed and you have already reduced your electricity bill.

A second way to use less energy is to fit special light bulbs which last longer than normal light bulbs and use less energy. They cost a little more but n the long run, they save you money.

Finally, put a sweater on! When it gets cold, many people turn up the heating. But if they just put a sweater on they would quickly get warmer without using fuel.

So next time you are about to switch it on or turn it up, ask yourself if you really need to and save yourself some money at the same  time!
