Taking action for climatic changes feels like a huge thing to take care of ; but what if they are as simple as our daily routines?
We often hear that even small acts, when done consistently, can make a big impact. In the same way, our simple daily actions towards conserving energy and saving the environment can also help us reach our goal to achieve a healthy and safe environment.
If you’re wondering why it’s important to save energy at home, the reasons are simple: reducing power usage is better for the environment. You’ll help keep the air cleaner and conserve resources. Being energy-efficient also implies being budget-efficient — saving energy saves money. Being aware that saving the environment is our responsibility goes a long way. Teaching our children values and ways of saving energy at home will make them feel responsible at an early age and create good habits that last a lifetime.
Fews things to change in our daily routine:
1. Use public transportation – Reduce your energy usage by carpooling, taking the train, or biking to work!
2. Keep the oven door closed while cooking: The temperature in your oven can drop 25 degrees or more every time you open the oven door
