Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.
Draught excluders are a cheap way of cutting out the chill from poorly fitting doors and windows. Most are also easy to fit, a simple DIY task.
Use a microwave. Generally a microwave oven is the most efficient way to heat up and cook food.
If you need to use a tumble drier, make sure you use a full load and keep the lint filter clean. It will keep your machine working more efficiently saving energy while also reducing any risk of fire.
When did you last test your smoke alarm? Make sure it will work when you need it by testing it weekly. #TestItTuesday
