Tips of the week

Setting your thermostat between 18-20 degrees Celsius during the day in winter can reduce your heating bill by 20%

When making a campfire, purchase firewood from a timber yard that sells plantation based timber. It’s important not to collect firewood from the bush because dead trees and logs are often habitat for wildlife

If you are renting, have a chat to your real estate or landlord about getting energy and water saving devices installed in your home

If you really must use a dishwasher, only use it when it’s full. This will reduce your energy and water usage
