Default Energy Saving

Top Tip:

Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl) - CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.


...Also...

Top Tip:

Do not leave appliances on standby!!! Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.
