hi my name is laura mcgeady and this is
what i do to live more sustainably
most of the energy you use in the home
is for heating and hot water
check you've if you've got heating
controls that are set to
a comfortable level and that your
heating's only coming on when you need
it on because if it's
on when you're out it's just wasting
energy another thing you can do is make
sure you're not leaving your appliances
on standby
because if we switch everything off
standby we could be saving ourselves
about 25 pounds a year
as soon as it's 100 charge you don't
want it charging anymore so unplug it
and switch off at the wall
because you you'll feel that the plug
for the phone charger often gets warm
if it's getting warm then that's using
energy if you learn how quickly your
phone charges up maybe you could find a
bit of time in the day over lunch or
in the evening when you're watching
something the good thing actually about
charging up outside
the time when most people are using
electricity is it's probably greener
electricity you're using that might be
worth thinking of putting on a timer
switch
a lot of it's common sense it's just
thinking about it it's just being more
conscious of it
