Only wash full loads when using the washing machine but if not use the economy programme. Always use a low temperature setting as modern machines automatically heat the water. Similar rules should apply for dishwashers. Modern dishwashers use less energy and water than washing by hand.

Switch to energy saving lightbulbs. They last 10 times longer than ordinary bulbs and could save you around £60 over its lifespan. Always turn off the lights when leaving the room. Most people think that turning the light on and off uses more energy, this isn´t the case.
