fuels such as natural gas, nuclear and renewables, aswell as the continueddevelopment of technologyadvances todevelopnew
energy sources.Without gains inefficiency, global energydemand couldhave risenbymore than 100percent. Ifwe all take a few
simpleenergy saving steps, togetherwe canmake a difference in reducingenergy consumptionwhichwill lead to real savings on
our electricitybills.
Energy Saving Tips
People use energy for home, work and travel.The largest source of energy demand
today is for fuel used to generate electricity. As energy consumers, we canmake a
difference by adopting energy-saving habits and technologies, both at home and in
theworkplace, especiallywith the implementation of the newelectricity tariffs this
month, whichwill see consumers payingmore for their electricity bills.
Au Naturel
OPEN
curtains and blinds, allowing
natural light to illuminate interior space
– saving you the need to turn on the
lights in the day. Ensure windows are
clean and open blinds before thinking
of switching on the lights.
Simple Basics
TURN
off lights when no one needs them!
Unplug It!
Many
electronics consume energy even
when you are not using them. Turn
them off (don’t leave them in standby
mode which consumes almost the
same amount of electricity use) and
unplug the ones that you’re not using
– especially over the weekend or when
you go on vacation.
Bulb Alert!
Check
if the light bulbs used in your
home are the energy-saving kind. If
they are not, maybe it’s time to switch.
Green Computing
When
purchasing computers or
printers, opt for models that have the
ability to power-down after a user-
specified period of inactivity.
