How can we help?
“Reduce your energy consumption – some simple tips
- Turn off lights, TVs, computers, when not in use
- Turn down the heating when it’s cold. Blankets and socks are good for you and better for the planet
- Burn renewable fuel (wood not coal)
- Walk or ride your bike and carpool if travelling greater distances
- Slow down when you are driving and keep tyres inflated to the right pressure. Turn off your engine if stopped for long periods
- Eat less meat, especially red meat. Cattle produce large amounts of methane (Phew!)
- Buy local and try growing your own food
- Use a washing line rather than a tumble dryer
- Insulate your home
- Choose renewable energy and/or get some solar panels
- Plant greenery on roofs, driveways, patios and windowsills
- Take a ‘staycation’ and avoid short-haul weekend city-breaks abroad
- Carbon offset your flights whether for business or for pleasure
- Recycle. Reusing rather than manufacturing from new materials saves energy”
