Here are some energy-saving tips.......
You can reduce your heating bill by 10% by lowering your room temperature by 1°C.
Keep your fridge's temperature at between 2–3°C for the best performance.
Set your water heating to 65°C on your immersion so that you don’t waste energy by overheating water.
Only boil the amount of water you need in the kettle.

It needs to be a habit.

Help us raise money for Barretstown by bringing your old batteries to school and placing them in the battery drum in the corridor near the Green-Schools Noticeboard!
