Turn it into a habit to turn off the lights when you go out - it will be the first and the easiest step to start conserving energy
There are multiple advantages of using energy-efficient light bulbs: you reduce the energy consumption while getting the same light intensity, the bulbs last longer and generate less pollution
Don't leave them always plugged in, switch them off and, apart from conserving energy, you'll help your devices last longer
If you can, always choose a house with an abundance of natural light coming from the windows
Energy labels help customers choose products that consume less energy over those more polluting
Programme your air conditioning thermostats between 24ºC and 26ºC, and your heating system between 19ºC and 21ºC.
Put in insulation in your doors and windows to maintain the temperature inside your home or office
Unplug the battery chargers of your mobile phones and other devices when you don't use them
Use adapters to unplug several devices at once when you don't use them
Unplug your appliances when you don't use them, since leaving them on standby wastes energy
