SAVE ENERGY... LOOK GOOD

If the concept of saving power sounds like an old man's haggle to you, here are 3 simple steps for you to play Captain Planet. Get ready to save energy and brag about it too... 

1. 'LED' the change

Replace your incandescent light bulbs with colorful LED. They are cheaper, vivid and consume less electricity. Switch it on, change it as per the mood of the moment and watch her go 'Oooo'

2. Use the window well

Open up your windows for light and air to come in. There is nothing that light ups the house like sunlight. Fresh air and love is all we need...

3. Unplug Posters

Make people in the house conscious of unplugging all appliances when not in use. Put up some cool posters, reminding users to unplug when done... Go corny. Embarrassing enough for the person who left your computer on for more than 10 minutes to go and switch it off

So the next time your friends visit you, show off the cool things you do to save money and save the planet. Don't forget to put on your cape

Darkness for a brighter future

On Saturday March 29th at 8.30 PM, millions of people across the world are turning to darkness for a brighter future. They will be switching off their lights for an hour to show their commitment towards the planet and towards energy consumption. 

The concept was started in 2007 with Sydney Australia being the first city to observe the Earth Hour. Over 2.2 million Sydnersiders set the ball rolling for the world to show their commitment towards energy consumption. The next year saw participation from over 371 cities from over 35 countries, quickly becoming the world's largest grassroot movement. 

Last year the Earth Hour saw phenomenal increase in support as the world rallied together for one hour in an inspiring display of what people can accomplish when they put their hearts in the right place. India's gateway of India was one of the participating landmarks.

This year the change is already underway. In Uganda over 500000 trees will be planted to create the world's first Earth Hour Forest in a fight against the 6000 hectares of deforestation. 

We call on people like you to come join hands with us and support this cause. This year with the Earth Hour Blue, you could also support one of their many inspiring projects.

It’s one turn-off you should embrace and be proud of.

Let’s indulge in darkness for a brighter future

Tips to save electricity

Conserving electricity serves the double purpose of helping stop global warming and saving a lot of money over time. Insulating your home and changing your daily habits are effective ways to reduce the amount of electricity you use. You can implement some energy-saving measures immediately, such as turning off and unplugging unused lights and appliances. Following are the some measures that could help create a better environment:

1. Purchase Energy Star Appliances: Energy Star is a government-backed rating system for energy-efficient appliances. The Energy Star label ensures that products you purchase have been tested and verified for performance efficiency. In addition, the Energy Star rating ensures that higher purchase costs will be recouped through electric bill savings.
2. One can make an instant change in the water consumption by installing low-flow fixtures. Replacing older toilets with a low-flow toilet will help save up to 75 percent of water use per flush; for even more savings, choose a dual-flush model with options for solid and liquid flushes.
3. Turning the heat and water heaters down when out of town and away from the house could prove highly beneficial. One could reduce energy use by 10 percent each time you lower the thermostat by 10 degrees for an eight-hour period; do so when sleeping or at work to reduce the electric bill.
4. Embrace natural lighting: Using natural light whenever possible instead of relying on artificial light can greatly reduce the amount of electricity you use during the day. The same is true whether you work in an office or spend your days in your house. Exposure to natural light also increases happiness, giving you an even greater incentive to raise the blinds.
• Try to arrange your workspace so that natural light floods your desk. Keep the overhead lights off when possible. When you need extra lighting, use a low-powered desk lamp instead.
• Buy curtains or blinds in a light shade that provides privacy but still allows light to come through.
5. Seal and Insulate: Insulating the exterior walls and roof of the house and sealing air leaks would save as much as 20 percent on your heating and cooling costs. In hot, sunny climates, add a reflective radiant barrier directly on top of your existing attic insulation to save in cooling costs. Air leaks are often easy to find as they are easy to feel, though many air leaks in basements, attics and crawlspaces go unnoticed.
