Once you take notice of how much electricity and water you have been squandering needlessly, you will also notice other things you are wasting.
Small as they are, these habits will contribute to preserving our environment. Shower water too hot? Do not turn up the cold water tap; turn down the hot water tap instead. Never use a hose!
10. Adjust the fridge thermostat to low in winter.
5. Avoid opening the fridge every five minutes. The retained heat will keep it cooking to perfection. Drop tissues and other litter into the wastebasket. We know that we cannot go anywhere to replenish them if we use them up. (Grown-ups will, of course, head for a shower.
10. Turn off the taps tightly after using them and fix leaks as soon as they occur. Plus, you will be overjoyed when you see the positive effect on your monthly utility bills. And keep the plates clean. Avoid opening the oven door to check how the cooking is progressing. Collect the water that runs off your roof in a barrel and use it to water your plants or to wash your car.
That is why we bring you a practical guide on what you can do to save the planet without going out of your way to do it. Keep the freezer as full as possible; however, do not overfill the fridge.)
Yes, we are all aware that the resources of planet Earth are limited. However, all our noble pledges that entail something we see as deprivation are doomed to end up in the "unfulfilled resolutions" file.
And yes, we would all like to contribute to the preservation of natural resources. In return, you will feel good about yourself.

10 Electricity Saving Habits
1. Use pots the same size as the stove plate. Learn to wash your car with one or two buckets of water. Set your geyser to a lower temperature and switch it off when you are away for a longer period of time. (Yes, your Mom is right!)
10 Water Saving Habits
1. Cleaning the fish tank? Use the nutrient-rich water for your plants.
9. Have a sprinkler? Adjust it so that only plants get the water, not your house, pavement, or street. Feel like a cuppa? Boil only as much water as you need at a time. (Those little coloured lights visible in the standby mode also use power.
6. Do not flush them down the toilet. And, hopefully, do something about that too. Set your washing machine to wash with warm or cold water (not hot). If you have small children, bathe them together. Shower water too cold? (By now, you know what to do.)
2. Whether you are cooking in the oven or on the stove top, turn off the knob five minutes before the food is done. Unplug the charges and adapters and actually switch off devices (TV, laptop, DVD player) when not in use.
3. You can adapt them today, without changing your lifestyle. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. This also reduces energy costs. Use your washing machine and your dishwasher only when they are filled to capacity.
