Energy at home project

Over the past couple of weeks we have been doing a home project about energy. I have learnt a lot during this project. If you want to save energy and money you should turn off your power points. You can turn off your appliances by the wall and not leave the them on standby. You should turn off your television if you are not watching it.

I also learnt that my washing machine uses a lot of energy, it has a rating of 1 star. To save more energy you could hang your clothes outside instead of using a dryer. You could take shorter showers because it would use energy to heat up your water. You could only use your dishwasher if it full. A better way to wash your dishes is to hand wash them. You could try not to use the air conditioner, if your house hot you can open a window or if it's cold you can put on a jacket. This project has made me more aware of how much energy we are wasting.
