Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility. Reduce your carbon footprint! Leaving your car at home twice a week can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2500 KG per year. Save up errands and shopping trips so you need to drive fewer times.

If you commute to work, ask if you can work from home at least some days(Holidays work), and you'll reduce air pollution and traffic congestion - and save money.

It's electric! You can check how much of your electricity comes from renewable "green" power sources, such as wind or solar. Green power produces less carbon emissions, reduces air pollution, and helps protect against future costs or scarcity of fossil fuels. If green power is a consumer option, check price differences from suppliers before you buy

By following these simple tips one can save energy to a large extent

Lighting:

• Turn off the lights when not in use.
• Take advantage of day light by using light colored, loose- weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colors that reflect daylight.
• De- dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination.
• Use task lighting: instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it.
• Compact fluorescent bulbs are four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same lighting.
• Use electronic chokes in place of conventional chokes.

Fans: 

• Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans.
• Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans.

Electric iron

• Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cut off.
• Use appropriate regulator position for ironing.
• Do not put more water on clothes while ironing.
• Do not iron wet clothes.

Kitchen appliances.

Mixers

• Avoid dry grinding in your food processors ( mixers and grinders) as it takes longer time than liquidgrinding.

Microwaves oven

• Consumes 50 % less energy than conventional electric / gas stoves.
• Do not bake large food items.
• Unless you are baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat.
• Don’t open the oven door too often to check food condition as each opening leads to a temperature drop of 25 degree Celsius.

Electric stove

• Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified cooking time.
• Use flat- bottomed pans that make full contact with the cooking coil.

Don't idle! Remind your office system to turn off bus engines when buses are parked. Exhaust from idling buses can pollute air in and around the bus, and can enter office buildings through air intakes, doors, and open windows. Constant idling also wastes fuel and money, and bus engines really need only a few minutes to warm up.

Tread lightly! Use public transportation, carpool, walk, or bike whenever possible to reduce air pollution and save on fuel costs. Make your home an Energy Star! When you do home maintenance, also do a home energy audit to find out how you can save money by making your home more energy efficiency. And if every home replaced just one conventional light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes a year.

Recycle it! Take your old computer, DVD player, or other electronics to an electronics recycling center. Reusing and recycling materials like copper, gold, and others saves natural resources and reduces mining and processing. recycling also helps avoid land, air, and water pollution by capturing and reusing hazardous substances such as lead or chromium.

Everyone can make a difference! You can study links between everyday actions at your work spot, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change. Become a "climate ambassador" leader in your office or neighborhood and motivate friends, schools, and community leaders. Talk to you friends - help spread the word!
