Happier Homes have some saving energy tips that may make you think about how you can start changing habits here and there for the better.
Did you know that…
-Cleaning with cold water saves energy and cuts your electric bill?

Recycling can really contribute to saving energy which is not something we often think of. Using less water seems a more obvious one but how many of us remember to turn the tap off when we're brushing our teeth? I know it sometimes slips my mind.
If we try and really make a conscious effort, recycling and saving water can make such a huge difference. Just remember this when you think that recycling that one plastic bottle isn't worth it; it really is!
How will you be trying to save energy from now on?
