Simple Ways to Save Energy

Below are simple ways to save energy effective, if done properly can reduce further expenditure of water, electricity and vehicles.

1. When a TV, DVD and other communication devices are not used should be a source of electrical power is turned off (TVs and DVDs in the STAND BY position still consume a few watts of electrical power)
