How to Save the Environment at Home

Turn off appliances when you are not using them. Up to 30% of power used by TV's is used while they are turned off, so buy power strips and just flip the switch on the power strip, because they use far less energy while turned off.


Lower the thermostat by a few degrees in winter. An extra layer or blanket will not only keep you cozy but will help to reduce your electricity bill significantly.


Make sure that the house is fully insulated. Insulation keeps the heat and cool on the correct side of your living space. Consider not only the ceiling but also the walls and under the floors.


Try to Use LED Bulbs which will reduce the power usage.

Try to use 5 star rating home appliances/fans/geyser etc these also will save lots of power and enarge.
 

Use windows to regulate the temperature.

• Keep windows and doors closed properly to avoid the loss of heat in winter.
  
• Open the windows in summer. The cross breeze will often keep you cool and flushes out stale air (indoor air is often more highly polluted than the air outside). Importantly, the use of fresh air to cycle through your home saves the cost of running an air conditioner.

Turn off the lights. Always turn off the lights when you are not using them. Rooms that are lit with nobody in them are wasteful.

Buy rechargeable batteries for devices used frequently.

@ Kitchen 

Avoid Creating Trash. Avoid disposable products, such as plates, cups, napkins and cutlery. Use reusable towels and dishwashing cloths in place of paper towels and disposable dish sponges.

Update your refrigerator. Fridges are the most energy intensive appliance in a house. This means that a poorly maintained and energy inefficient fridge is costing you money, let alone adding its burden to the atmosphere. Recent fridges use 40% less energy than fridges of 10 years ago. If you do decide to upgrade the fridge, make sure that you buy for its excellent energy rating, longevity and durability and that you have the old fridge recycled

Prefer showers over baths. Showers use less water. Don't forget to install an efficient showerhead

Install low-flush toilets in your home. These use 1.6 gallons per flush, instead of 3.5 gallons, cutting water 

consumption by more than half.

@ Office 

Use recycled paper in your home office and printer. Double side your printing and give scrap paper to the kids or turn it into note paper for the phone table.

Turn off the computer every day. Even if it feels like it is not making much of a difference, it is. You also reduce any risks of overheating or shortcircuiting by turning computers off overnight.

Plant native species. They need less watering, are hardier (hence, less products needed to protect them) and they attract the local wildlife.
