ENERGY > ELECTRICITY:

- If you have a choice, pick a supplier whose energy comes partially or in whole from renewable energy sources.

- When using electrical appliances, make sure you use the least energy possible:
    1. Household appliances:
      refrigerator
      washing machine
      iron

    2. Audio and video hardware: TV, radio, hi-fi set

    >> Those devices should only be turned on if someone is using it.

    >> If you're not using something turn it off completely, not leaving it in standby mode - it is a waste of energy at your home.


    3. Lighting:

    >> Lighting takes up much power consumption in your household - about 40%.

    >> Power saving light bulbs may seem expensive, but take into account that such a bulb uses about 5 times less electricity than a normal one, and has a 6-10 times longer life cycle. In reality, using such bulbs you save not only power, but also money and the natural environment.
