Saving energy every day
Blog by Illona, student at Vilnius University (Lithuania)
Here are a few things my and my flat mates have been doing to save energy everyday. One thing that we do is turning off the lights when we leave the room. Of, course, it’s nothing new, but it does helps a lot, when it comes to energy saving. For example, in our flat there is a long corridor, that has no windows and is very dark, but it does have lights. However we almost never turn them on, because at the beginning of the corridor there is a small light that shows where the exit is and it is enough light to see where to go. We also turn off the lights when watching a movie, so it equals to a few hours in total darkness and, as such, saves energy. It is simple things like these that I believe really makes a difference, even if it doesn’t seem so at first glance.
