Using Less Stuff (Energy 2)

Once the school is used to the simplest methods of Using Less Energy we can start to look at other ways of reducing energy consumption around the school.

• Turn down the brightness on all televisions, computers and smart boards around the school.
• Unplug your laptop charger when your laptop is fully charged. Using the battery will not only save energy, it will also improve the long-term life of the battery.
• Put signs next to kettles encouraging people to only boil the amount of water they actually need.
• In the laundry, switch the washing machine temperatures down to 30°C.
• Only wash clothes when there are enough clothes to fill a whole washing machine.
