Action #105

Switch things off when you leave the room


 
This action has been done 8,812 times which means roughly £881.2 have been saved on fuel bills and there are much fewer little red lights glowing out there.
 
How we did the maths
 

Have you ever spotted those little red lights? Your TV, computer and stereo might seem off but there's still a little red glow? Ever wondered what that was? Well, it's not a street lamp for a mouse. It's showing you that energy is still being used. Make sure you unplug items when you're not using them and you will reduce electricity use in your home by up to 10%.

    harder than it looks

    If you share a house with people this one becomes a living nightmare, so I just have to think about the space I own and forget the rest. 15 March 2010, 01:01

    Saving power

    I have started to close all doors in the house and only have the heating on in the rooms I am using. I also turn off all plugs, lights, computers ... when I'm not using them 28 October 2009, 13:39

    Always

    I never leave the light on. Usually I'm on the computer and I don't like to have light around me. So when I leave everything is already off 13 July 2009, 16:39
