Save Energy
Reduce your own and the college’s energy footprints through simple behavioural changes
- Only boil as much water as you need in the kettle
- Cover the pot while waiting for water to boil
- Turn off appliances and lights when you are finished
- The oven heats up quickly and does not need to be preheated for long
- Eat fresh food rather than frozen
- Buy local produce to prevent transport costs, with the added benefit of less packaging (it’s also cheaper!)
- Avoid wasting food by planning your meals
- Try one-pot cooking
Save Water
Water is a precious resource, please conserve it
- Don’t leave taps running
- Drink tap water rather than mineral/bottled water
- Fill up the sink with water rather than washing plates under a running tap
- Don’t use running water to defrost frozen food
- Use washing-up liquid sparingly
