energy saving tips???
with the price of gas and leccy so high it might be a good time to think about cutting down on our usage, any ideas would be very welcome................like sharing a bath with someone, (dont have to be your wife lol)..........or fitting heavier curtains, or maybe going back to open fires, buy a pressure cooker or use the microwave instead of the oven etc. etc.

Re: energy saving tips???
turn off teh router etc overnight, switch to energy bulbs, spend a minute at night before bed seeing whats left on,
I found we tended to leave teh following on Sky+, ( not in standby, in full on showing picture mode) TV sender and receiver ( that sends teh Sky+ upstairs) Washing machine( or teh blue lagoon as I call it as it has a REALLY bright blue display) Router - not needed from bedtime to after tea the following day phone chargers x2 battery chargers ( adaptors still turned on even when not charging) One that bugs me is our Oven has a light that you can't turn off when its cooking, I don't need 40W of light when I'm not even watching the casserole!!!! Other energy, make sure your tyres at at right pressure slow down 10mph Polish teh car keep it properly serviced |

If you really want to save energy, bin your computer, printer, scanner, router & any other gadget that we all think is 'must have', knock on your neighbours door introduce yourself and start a good natter.
On second thought's I would hate to find out my neighbour is that silly devil I've been calling over the web for the past year, perhaps we should just follow the example of the ostrich and bury our heads in the sand until everything goes away.:rolleyes: |

Why polish the car? would that not waste energy, you know the elbow grease kind especially with this lovely english weather we have 10 minutes after you finished it will rain!! :o |
Re: energy saving tips???
Keeping the car polished cuts down on the wind resistance, and therefore saves energy.

Re: energy saving tips???
I have several 6 way extension plug leads which have built in red lights.
It is not convenient for me to switch them off at the wall socket due to inacessability behind furniture. I go to the trouble to unplug things and not use the 'standby' but I am aware of these red lights continuously glowing. Has anyone gone to the trouble of removing these little bulbs? Is is safe and easy to do so? |
Re: energy saving tips???
