  1. Shower More, Bath Less -

    We both shower rather than take baths, but for the kids (5 & 7), bathtime is a key playing time and a good time to chat to them! We will however, try and make those baths shallower!

    During the hosepipe ban, we did try and scoop some of the water out onto the garden – the carpet did get a bit of a watering too.

  2. Switch it off at the Plug. (Don't Stand By.) -

    Not doing fantastically well at this, but trying. Monitor is now getting switched off at the plug – that’s 5W saved. TV is always switched off when not in use as it has a proper power button. Phone charger not left on.

    Challenging ones are PVR box and microwave. PVR won’t record if switched off, and microwave is also a handy clock. We could probably make do without the latter.

  3. Switch off and unplug appliances and chargers -

    Easy one for us. It does look like some people have misunderstood this one slightly. Switching off at the wall is fine, it won’t consume any energy left plugged in but switched off.

    Perhaps the confusion is that if it’s on but not connected to the phone, then there is some energy wasted as heat.
