If the people all over the world...

...turned out a light, they don't need, I wonder how much energy that'll save.

Nature is beautiful and needs to be saved.
Here are some advices on how to be more environmentally friendly:

  1. Don't forget to set your Game Consoles on Power Save. Very Important: always turn them off completely. Xbox & PS3 set on sleep almost use up as much power as if they were in use.
  2. Power Strips with a switch prevent the electronic devices from staying on Stand-by.
  3. Everything adds up, so unplug all the Chargers you do not need. 
  4. Use green search machines like: http://ecosia.org/ (it uses green electricity)
  5. Switch to a green electricity provider!
  6. Use rechargable batteries instead of normal ones. FYI: 1 rechargeable battery can replace about 500 normal batteries!!
  7. For your computer, laptop, etc. set it on Power Save (Plan)! And forget about the Screen Saver alltogether.
  8. Whenever you leave your work area to take a break, remember to switch off the Computer screen.
  9. Save Paper: Print your stuff on both sides. 
  10.  Let them send you your bills via e-mail.
  11. FYI: The production of recycled paper uses 50 % less water and energy! 
  12.  So: Only use recycled paper, toiletpaper, tissues...
  13.  Finish your old supplies and switch to climate friendly cleaning products & detergent!
  14. Only because you are using a lot of a cleaning supply doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be any cleaner ;) So be aware of the right dosage!
  15. Don't use the small pots for the big hotplates and don't forget to put the lid on while cooking!
  16. Water heater are a much better option for heating water for tea or broth than using the stove.
  17. Cooking and baking yourself is way more fun, tastes better and finally is more climate friendly. 
  18. Let your leftovers cool off before putting them in the fridge.
