Remember to unplug your phone charger at night, or any time when you are not using it, because it still uses energy even when it does not have a phone on it. TVs also do this, even when they are not on standby.
even if the tv's off?...wat about computers, when its hybernating its still off, isnt it?
No, they still use energy unless you turn it off at the socket. Not as much as leaving it on standby, but it still adds up.
Another way to save energy is to only put the amount of water you want to boil into a kettle. kettles use loads of energy, and simply doing this could save you loads of money.
Good reminder! Some TV's use the same amount of energy on stand-by as when they are on.
Other things worth switching off are:
1) PC (uses lots of power)
2) Shower
3) Kitchen Appliances that remain on stand-by like microwave.
4) All lights around the house that are not in use/Use energy-saving bulbs in hallways and wherever possible.
5) Turn off iron when there's one garment left to iron. It will provide enough heat to finish ironing.
6) Games consoles.
Trust me, ignore people when they say it ' uses a only a bit of electricity'. It all adds up and it's not them paying the bills!

Oh yeah, good one! To save even more energy, fill a hot-water flask and use that to make your cuppas throughout the day.
And if you don't have one, invest in a pressure cooker. It really cuts down on the time it takes to cook anything, especially meat.
hmm well erm i leave the charger on at night, to charge my telephone booth, but when the battery is fully charged i still leave it on, im hardly going to get up in the middle of the night just to turn it off eh?
I guess one should just live life on the edge and invest in a tent SORTED
