How can I use less?

Look for appliances around the home
that are not always being used and
can be switched off.
Often it's items such as a games
console, sound system or even a clock
radio in the spare room. Experiment
with switching appliances off and
see what affect that has on the
speedometer.
Other ways to save include having
less water in the kettle (only boil
what you intend to use), lowering the
temperature on the washing machine
or raising the temperature of the
freezer (-18C is cold enough).
