| Reducing Energy Use | |||
Reducing energy use is the first and most cost effective step we can take in our households to lower the amount of greenhouse gases they are responsible for. There are two aspects: insulation of roof spaces, windows, hot water tanks and pipes etc good practice for example, turning lights off when you leave an empty room, putting lids on pans when you are cooking, not leaving windows open when the heating is on, etc energy saving equipment, although energy 'A' rated appliances are £20-£30 more when you buy them they can save you far more than that during their lifetime. An 'A' rated appliance can use half the amount of electricity of one of the lower rated appliances.
