Save Energy and Water

Turn off lights and electrical appliances when not in use. A photocopier left on overnight wastes enough energy to make 5300 copies. For free ‘Switch me off’ stickers email resources@envibe.co.uk

Turn off computer screens when not in use (screen savers save screens, not energy)! Monitors use 70% of a computer’s power. For free ‘Switch off’ reminder cards email resources@envibe.co.uk

For every degree that you can turn your heating down you can save 5-10% on your heating bill.

When buying electrical appliances try to buy energy efficient options. Look out for:

	The Energy Efficiency Recommended Logo		The European Energy Efficiency label (rated A or B)
	The Energy Star label

Save water - fix leaks (a tap dripping once per second wastes 1200 litres of water per year) and reduce water used by the WC. Thames Water supply up to 100 hippos and hogs for the cistern free of charge to their customers, to save 1 litre of water per flush email water@envibe.co.uk
