How does energy conservation work in practice?

It's easier than you think to implement energy conservation practices in your everyday life. Simple things like turning off all electrical appliances when not in use (particularly computers and peripherals). Reduce water temperature in boiler, thermostat should be set at 60°C maximum (have you ever noticed how some people have the water so hot that they have to add cold water before using it!). Turn off lights when leaving the room. Have your boiler serviced regularly (will keep boiler working at maximum efficiency and safety). Dont use your car for short trips and when you do need to use it try and combine all your errands into one trip. Next time you need to replace any electrical equipment natural ecosystems make sure you buy a high efficiency product from an Energy Saving Recommended retailer. Close curtains in the evenings to slow down heat loss through windows. When you put the kettle on just boil enough for your needs - filling kettle up for one cup of tea wastes loads of energy! These simple changes show how easy it is to put energy conservation into practice and can make a big impact on global warming and your wallet!
