WATER 1 Fix leaks. Fix leaking taps One drop per second equals 7,000 litres of water wasted per year. 2 Install a filter Stop buying costly bottled water which adds to the landfill.
LIGHTING 3 Change your light bulbs Lighting accounts for 15% of your energy bill. Replace old bulbs with ENERGY STAR rated bulbs. 4 Motion detector lights Turn lights off outside when not in use. 5 Keep it dark Light pollution is an increasing problem. Turn off outdoor lights to save energy and encourage night life such as bats and frogs. A single bat can eat tens of thousands of mosquitoes nightly. If you have safety concerns, use motion detector lights – which come on, only as needed. 6 Holiday lights Use LED lights.
