Using lids on your pans when cooking will save energy and help heat the contents quicker.
Wash fruit and vegetables in a bowl, not under a running tap, to cut water use. Use the leftover water for your houseplants or patio pots.
Only fill your kettle with the water you need. You will save both water and energy.
Remember to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth – a running tap wastes over 6 litres per minute.
Still using tungsten, halogen or fluorescent bulbs? Changing to LED lighting can save energy and money.
When did you last test your smoke alarm? Make sure it will work when you need it by testing it weekly. #TestItTuesday
