We can all help limit climate change. From the electricity we use, to the food we eat, the way we travel, and the things we buy, we can make a difference. Saving energy is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, and save money too.
Find out what you can do at home to cut your energy use and support Project Zero, and please share your ideas with us.
Ask your energy provider to fit a SMART meter to help you understand and manage your energy usage and costs. This will help you see how much energy you are using, and if you could use less by switching appliances off or turning your heating down.
Insulate your home. Make sure your walls, roof and windows are insulated to cut down heat waste. Check out the Nest scheme for free advice and, if you are eligible, a package of free home energy efficiency improvements.
Heating water makes up 18% of the average household’s energy costs, so saving water saves on energy bills. To save water, don't leave your tap running when you are brushing your teeth, get a water efficient shower head and take a shorter shower. More tips on saving water.
Turn off lights when you don’t need them and switch to LEDs or other low-energy lights. Put exterior or security lights on timers or make sure they are motion activated so that they are only on when needed.
Keeping warm is vital, particularly for older people at home. Age UK recommends layering up and keeping active at home.
