6. Help manage climate change by making
environment-friendly decisions.
Here are 10 super simple ways
to help take care of our planet.
7. 1. Minimize app notifications
Disable unnecessary notifications to
conserve your smartphone battery
and save energy.
8. 2. Keep warm: more clothes, less energy
During cold seasons, wear heavier clothes and use
extra blankets instead of turning up the heat.
9. 3. Fill the kettle with just enough water
British households
waste £68m a year by
overfilling the kettle!
This wastes surprising
amounts of gas and
electricity.

10. 4. Towel your hair thoroughly before
using a hair dryer
The less time you run your hair dryer, the less energy you
use. Air drying is another natural option.
11. 5. Walk or bike whenever possible
It saves fuel and keeps your body in shape.
12. 6. Turn off unnecessary lights
When you’re the last person to leave
a room, make it a habit to switch off
the lights.
13. 7. Unplug appliances when not in use
Many plugged-in appliances consume
energy even when not in active use.
14. 8. Use a glass when you brush your
teeth
You use 2 gallons of
water per minute if you
brush your teeth with
the tap running. Wasting
water also wastes the
energy used in water
production and delivery.

15. 9. Buy local foods
Local foods consume far
less fuel for transport
than imported products.
16. 10. Always show with reusable
shopping bags
About 500 billion
plastic bags are used
worldwide each year.
Reduce plastic use and
you reduce waste and
production of
greenhouse gases.
