What can I do?

How to make your home energy efficient?

  • Buy energy efficient appliances. When selecting new home appliances (refrigerator, washing machine, etc.), consider the ones that have the European label A+ because it is a sign that the appliance is energy efficient.

  • Always switch off and unplug the appliances when you are not using them

  • Think about home insulation – heat is stored better in the colder seasons and leads to lower power consumption

  • Think about adding solar panels to the roof of your home

  • Don’t heat up your home too much – lowering your home temperature by just 1 °C can lower your electricity bills by up to 7%.

  • Think about using energy efficient light bulbs

  • When you air your room, leave the window wide open for a few minutes and then close it instead of letting the heat go for a long time

  • Defrost your fridge regularly. This can save up to 30% of the energy used

  • Do not put hot or warm food in the refrigerator. Let it cool first and then put it inside the refrigerator

  • Do not leave your TV, stereo or computer in standby mode. On average 45% of the energy a TV consumes is from a standby mode

  • Do not forget to plug off your mobile phone charger when the battery is fully charged

How to reduce our personal carbon footprint?

  • When possible, walk or ride a bicycle instead of driving a car

  • Use renewable instead of plastic bags when shopping

  • Try to reuse and recycle

  • Avoid traffic while you are driving because it wastes gas and creates additional CO2 emissions
  • Eat more locally produced and organic food

  • Inform yourself and advocate for clean energy sources

  • Use the water wisely and efficiently

  • Drive a low carbon vehicle

  • Try to avoid flying – airplanes emit huge amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere

  • Build a tree – trees absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere

  • Try to eat less meat – meat production emits huge amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere
