ECO-FRIENDLY DRIVING
Divide the carbon footprint of your car by the number of passengers.
You can save up to 15% of your fuel, while also reducing your chances of having an accident.
Set your hot water to 55-60°C
This is the perfect temperature for your hot water tank tank. It reduces the risk of getting burned and prevents bacteria from developing, all while saving energy.
19°C is a lovely temperature
It’s the best room temperature. If you feel a bit chilly, just put on a scarf or an extra jumper.
16-19°C for restorative sleep
At night-time, lower temperatures help promote an excellent quality of sleep. Give it a go, and you’ll be in fine form to hit the slopes in the morning.
Switch to eco mode
Only turn your dishwasher or washing machine on when they are full. Short cycles and low temperatures wash efficiently, whilst saving energy.
Keep the heat inside
Two top tips for saving up to 30% of your heating: close the shutters and curtains at night. Try not to open windows and exterior doors, and when you want to let some air in, make sure you lower the heating.
The beneficial effects of cold water
When you only need a small amount of water, like to clean your teeth or your hands, use cold water. You’ll save water heated by the hot water tank.
Lights off! And standby off too!
If you’re not in a room anymore, switch off the light. Don’t forget that appliances in standby mode are constantly using energy.
Have a shower rather than a bath
By having a shower, you save water and energy. A 5-minute shower uses 3 to 4 times less hot water than a bath.
Cigarette butts are one of the most common types of litter in the mountains.
