Use a microwave. Generally a microwave oven is the most efficient way to heat up and cook food.

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.

Save energy with your washing machine. Modern washing powders often let you achieve the same results with lower temperatures.

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.

Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) help ensure your heating is evenly distributed where you need it. Check them to make sure they are set properly so each area reaches the temperature you need and gets no hotter.

Make the most of your oven. Filling an oven and batch cooking meals can save energy and money. If you share your home with others, planning meals and eating collectively can help build relationships whilst saving both energy and money.
