That’s really a nice tip for us, guys. What do you think would happen to us if everybody would practice it? Do you think our economic crisis still continue to increase?

Another good point when washing clothes in a machine we can wash now at 15′c instead of 25/30′c which saves on energy,”

That’s cool. Thanks for the extra tip. But how about doing the laundry with bare hands and soap. I think that would completely be saving a lot of energy from washing them. Just an opinion though.

Hello. Does anyone knows if those appliances that are on standby mode and has usually some small red or green light consumes how much of energy? Or are they even that great to b also responsible for higher energy consumption?

and i also agree with the above if you turn any electrical equipment that you do not use that will save a lot of energy.

A lot of people do not realise that if you leave plugs on and certain equipment on standby it still consumes a lot of energy.

I have started switching off appliances instead of keeping them in standby mode. Never thought earlier that they consume energy in that mode also.

I think adjusting the comfort zone can really make a difference, especially when nobody will be home for a while, or in other rooms of the house overnight.

I suppose in some cases it would require less energy to adjust the temperature a little, rather than turning off the heat or air entirely and having to recondition the area from square one. I guess it would be important to be clear on what was the most efficient approach.

Great tips. I must say, I find number one to be very funny. Why? If you think of it, its always like, going to some place without even planning your route then you’ll all end up spending too much when in fact its possible not to if only you first learn how to go there. And you can easily do that by just checking it out in the internet.

Great and reminding tips. Point 7 is something that we continuously forget about or just simply ignore. It just takes a bit more ‘effort’ to unplug the electronics after using it, but we are too lazy to do that.
