Your mission to preserve the planet begins in your own

home.

In the Bathroom

Page 4: Saving Energy

• Take a shower instead of a bath and you'll use three times less water.

Page 5: Saving Energy

Save energy, don't make

the water too hot.

 

Page 6: Saving Energy

Fix dripping faucets. You can

save 300 to 4000 gallons of

water every month.

Page 7: Saving Energy

Turn the water off when you brush

and you save about 3650

gallons of water every year.

Page 8: Saving Energy

Throw away less trash. Chose large family sizes and items

packaged in recyclable containers

Page 10: Saving Energy

Don't leave the water

running when you wash dishes.

Page 11: Saving Energy

Keep the oven door closed when you're cooking. A fourth of the heat escapes when the door

is opened.

Page 12: Saving Energy

Put lids on pans when you're cooking. The food heats faster.

Page 13: Saving Energy

Don't stand there with the

fridge door open. Decide

what you want, before you open it.

Page 14: Saving Energy

Use people power for mixing.

Page 15: Saving Energy

Choose large sizes packaged in recyclable or reusable

containers.

In the Bedroom

Page 17: Saving Energy

In the summer, close the

curtains in the morning so the sun

doesn't heat up your room.

Page 18: Saving Energy

In the winter, pile on the

covers instead of

turning up the heat.

Page 19: Saving Energy

Turn off the light when

you leave the room.

Page 20: Saving Energy

In the Laundry

Page 21: Saving Energy

Do the laundry in cold water. About 90% of

the energy used in

washing is just to heat the

water.

Page 22: Saving Energy

Dry one load after the other so the dryer

doesn't have to reheat.

Page 23: Saving Energy

Only dry full loads. Hang up small items like socks instead of using the

dryer.

Page 24: Saving Energy

Remember to recycle your plastic laundry bottles or refill

them.

Page 25: Saving Energy

Clean the lint filter. It takes

more energy to dry your clothes

when the lint filter is clogged.

Page 26: Saving Energy

Never touch the fuse box!

Page 27: Saving Energy

Can you think of more ways to save

energy?
