When it comes to saving electricity there are steps that are very easy to achieve. They don’t require a ton of effort. And best of all, they are free.

For example consider a situation: the light is on but there is nobody in the room. The electricity is essentially being wasted. The solution is easy: turn off the light whenever you leave the room.

It pays off to find where in your home the energy is being wasted. Here are some more examples:

• Heating or cooling empty rooms.
• Keeping your computer on all the time. Turn it off when not using. Or, better yet, configure it go to sleep automatically.
• Filling the kettle too full. The water that you didn’t use gets cold again. The energy used to boil it is wasted.
• A second fridge that is almost empty.

The nice thing about these changes is they would not make any noticeable negative impact on you or others.
