Here are some quick and easy ways for tenants to reduce your carbon footprints at home and be kinder to the planet.<\/h5>\n<h4><strong>Keep your cool<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When doing your next load of washing, consider setting the machine to 30 degrees, or even 20. Clothes don\u2019t need a lot of heat to keep clean, so a lower temperature will work fine for freshening them up. If you\u2019re worried about stains, soaking your garments beforehand will make them more likely to come out clean, preventing additional washes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Turn off standby<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Turning appliances off by the wall is a quick and easy way to save energy and lower your bills. Turning off your TV or phone charger sockets when you\u2019re done could save you roughly \u00a330 a year on your bills.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Lights out<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A free and easy way to save energy and money is turning lights off when you leave a room, and only turning on the lights you need. Switching your bulbs to energy efficient bulbs will be an upfront expense that will lower your bills in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Air dry <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For many homes, the tumble-dryer is the second most energy consuming appliance after the fridge. After you\u2019ve washed your clothes (at 30 degrees of course!) hanging them outside to dry or using a clothes horse indoors means less energy use and lower bills \u2013 and reduces the need to purchase a tumble dryer in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Use a washing up bowl<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Fill up your sink or a washing up bowl with warm soapy water to wash your dishes instead of washing them under a running tap. This not only saves water, but also the energy used to heat the water up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we all play our part to reduce carbon emissions, there are lots of small changes that we can do around our homes day to day that will make a big difference.
