Stop climate change and make adjustments in your lifestyle so future generations can enjoy clean air, water, safe food plus overall health and well-being. By taking small steps, you can contribute to the global climate change effort – and save money on your energy and heating bills! Learn how easy it is with these 10 simple tips:

1. Turn down the heat, programme your thermostat, replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing and don’t let heat escape from your house.
2. Switch off the lights when you don’t need them, let the light shine in, use energy-saving light bulbs and do not leave appliances on standby.
3. Recycle: Bring used glass to the bottle bank and sort paper and cardboard, reduce waste, choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills, reuse your shopping bag and say no to paper towels.
4. Unplug your mobile charger when you’re not using and turn off your computer during your absence from the office.
5. Switch to green electricity.
