Of the myriad of web pages and information about conserving energy home that circulates on the web, it is possible to see three main strategies that seem to be the easiest and most commonly accepted:

1/ turn off all electronic devices whilstnot in use. It is even recomandable to unplug devices to avoid what is called Phantom Loads, which is the energy consumed by a device while it is not turned on. so it is not enough just to switch off but to unplug is very important as well

2/ wash clothes at 30 instead of 40 degrees, it will save 40% more energy

3/ walk, cycle, use public transport. It saves a huge amount of energy of CO2 emissions from burnt fossil fuel

However, the most important way to save energy and contribute to a more sustainable planet is to rethink the way we inhabit the planet and the way we prioritise what'simportant for us to lead a happy and healthy life.
