Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.

Fit a water butt to collect rainwater. Your roof collects about 85,000 litres of rain each year (around 450 butts full). That’s water you can use for your plants and to wash the car, and it’s free!

Make sure your pans fully cover the rings on your hob to use all of the heat being provided. Use the right sized ring for the pan you are heating.

Hanging out clothes to dry will save you energy and money over using a tumble drier.

If your charger has an LED to show it’s in use, it is still using energy until you switch it off at the wall or unplug it.

A dripping tap can waste at least 5,500 litres of water a year. If this is hot water you’re also wasting the energy used to heat it. Get leaking taps fixed promptly.
