The cost of electricity is on the rise again. This time, they are going to rise it up to 5%! Crap! If only my salary increases at the same rate. *rolleyes*

This makes me even more determined to continue to save and conserve energy in my home.

Some habits i’ve developed over the years on saving up on the water/electricity bill, some of which are influenced by my wonderful mum:

• If you do hand-washing for your clothes, reuse the water by using it to flush toilet between uses. For the water that was used in rinsing the clothes the second time, you can use it to wash rugs or shoes.
• Switch off the lights if not needed. [This is something i must accustom to as i am afraid of the dark]
• Use energy saving bulbs/light tubes
• If you are using your computer and listening to the music on a high end hi-fi at the same time, i suggest you play the music via your computer instead.
• Switch off the fish oxygen pump when not needed. Use a lower end pump for the fish tank.
• Only watch your favourite show on tv and don’t waste time watching those crappy shows.
• Only boil water when needed rather than to use an electric flask that auto-boils itself every now and then.

If you have any other ideas on conserving water/electricity, feel free to email me and i will post it up here.

Stumble it!
