Eco-friendly home tips
There are simple things we can all do at home to be more environmentally friendly.
Caring for the environment - every bit helps
We’re all spending more time online and on our devices. But we can all help reduce electricity usage, electronic waste and recycle our packaging.

Power Down
How many phone chargers do you have, not currently charging a phone? Smartphone chargers, computers, TVs and other electronics all use power in standby mode.
Considering the number of appliances and gadgets left plugged in to power around the average household, 24 hours a day, no surprises this can account for up 10% of your energy bill. Beyond that there’s an environmental cost of millions of households continually running multiple chargers and electronics in standby mode.
Shedding some light
How many halogen downlights does your home have? Swapping to energy efficient alternatives can save money and greenhouse gasses without leaving you in the dark. There are so many efficient, compatible LED alternatives available now that will also work with you dimmer switches and timers. Retrofitted energy-efficient globes do more than save power, money and the environment, they last longer too.
