Why I chose this topic
Saving energy helps the planet and saves money. Small actions make a big difference!
🌍 Protect the planet
Using less energy can reduce pollution.
Did you know? Saving 1 kWh of energy can reduce CO₂ by 0.5 kg!
💰 Save money
Energy saving can reduce electricity bills.
Fact: LED bulbs use 75% less energy and last 25x longer!
⚡ Less waste
Turning things off stops energy waste.
Tip: Standby devices use 5-10% of home energy. Unplug them!
🏠 Better habits
Small habits become big results over time.
Result: Simple changes can save up to 30% on energy bills!
1) 💡 Turn off lights
Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
2) 🔌 Unplug chargers
Unplug chargers when not in use (standby energy).
3) 💡 Use LED bulbs
LED bulbs use less energy than old bulbs.
4) 📺 Turn off TV
Turn off the TV when no one is watching.
5) 🧊 Close the fridge
Do not keep the fridge door open.
6) 🚿 Cold water washing
Wash clothes with cold water when possible.
7) ☀️ Use sunlight
Open curtains and use natural light.
8) 🚪 Close doors/windows
Keep doors and windows closed in winter.
9) 🚿 Short showers
Short showers save energy and water.
10) 🖥️ Turn off computer
Turn off the computer after using it.
11) ♻️ Eco mode
Use eco/energy-saving mode on devices.
12) 💡 Smart Lights
Smart lights and motion sensors turn lights off automatically when you leave.
13) 🔌 Smart Plugs
Smart plugs can cut standby power and turn devices off on a schedule.
14) 🌡️ Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats keep rooms comfortable and save heating/cooling energy.
15) ☀️ Solar Systems
Solar panels use sunlight to make clean electricity and save energy bills.
16) 👨👩👧👦 Tell your family
Teach your family to use smart systems and save energy together.
🔌 Standby Energy
What happens?
When a charger is plugged in but not connected to a phone, it can still use a small amount of energy.
Why is it important?
Small energy waste every day becomes big waste over time.
What can we do?
Unplug chargers or use a switchable power strip.
Slogan: Unplug to save!
💡 LED vs Old Bulb
What happens?
Old bulbs produce more heat. Heat means wasted energy.
Better choice:
LED bulbs use less energy and last longer.
