Save The Energy

Almost all electronic products (computers, printers, modems, scanners, stereo player, DVD player, etc.) draw an idle electrical current even after they have been turned off. If you use a power strip with a power button as a central "turn off" point, you can save a lot of energy and money, too.

If you leave the room for more than fifteen minutes, just turn the lights off. This will be a really small step to save power, save money and to save the environment.

A few minutes before your food is cooked completely, turn off the burner or oven to allow the heat in the pot or the pan to continue the cooking.

Cover pots and pans with tight-fitting covers while cooking to prevent heat loss. If you do, they will boil a lot quicker and you will save energy and money.

Five Fuel Saving Tips:

1. Avoid Short Distance Driving
   A cold engine is not very efective. So the the fuel consumption is very high on the first miles. So if your destination is not to far away you should think about walking or biking. Both is good for your health and you will save a lot of fuel and money. And before you drive anywhere, always ask yourself: "Is this trip really necessary?"
2. Start your Car when you are ready to go
   Most cars don't need to be "warmed up" by engine idling before setting off. This just wastes fuel and your money.
3. Driving at a constant Speed
   Stop-and-Start driving is very inefficient and more polluting than driving at a constant speed. If you accelerate to speed then have to brake right away, that's wasted fuel.
4. Don't Speed
   Fuel consumption increases significantly over about 56 mph. At 70 mph your car uses up to 25 per cent more fuel than it would cruising at 56 mph.
5. Use airconditioning sparingly
   At lower speeds you'll save fuel if you just open the window and shut off the airconditioner. Remember: Airconditioners can use about 10 per cent extra fuel when operating!
