    when using a laptop set it to the balanced or 'power saver' power setting to conserve energy (also means your battery will last longer

    Dont fill up your kettle . . Only put in the amount of water you need each time . .

    Oh and check your windows for drafts. You should consider pasting around the ledges if wind gets in, got that tip from a neighbour and its made a huge differance ! !

    all the people signing up to boards just to comment on this, just turn off your laptop instead. Will save a lot of power...

    Hi, I heard you are the most competitable at the moment regarding prices so I want to change from my existing supplier to you.

    If like me and your laptop is 7 years old you dont need heating in the house, it gets extremely warm after being turned on for 10mins... The noise of the fan running at ridiculous speeds can get annoying though.

    I'm shocked that a phone like this is being given away. However, it would light me up to win it.

    I was'nt joking. Energy Efficiency for the home or car is cutting down your Carbon Footprint, remember A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person." and if people have a little laugh doing it, all the better.

    turn off the water heater when you go on holiday or even if it's only for the weekend.:)

    or when you're done playing with your Wii, Xbox, Playstation unplug it. It's maybe not much, but little by little, there's bigger saving to make.

    Don't buy a Plasma TV. Get LCD or LED.. Far more economical!
    Replace Halogen spotlights with LED bulbs

    Listen to the radio in the shop. :pac:

    On a serious note, if you've a smartphone, turn off GPS, Wifi and bluetooth if you're not using them, they majorly drain the battery. Turn the brightness down to about half as well.

    They say a watched pot never boils, but a covered one boils extra quickly, saving cooking time--and energy.
