Leaving a fluorescent light on when you go out doesn’t save energy

Bet you didn’t know that…

Leaving a fluorescent light on when you go out doesn’t save energy – switch off if you’re leaving for more than a few minutes.

For each unit of electricity we use, two units of energy are wasted as heat loss from the power station!

On a hot summer day, the heat coming through an unshaded window (1 metre square) is about the same as you’d get from switching on a single bar radiator! Curtains cut the heat by around 80%.

A household that dries all its clothes in an electric clothes drier generates over a tonne of greenhouse gas each year. That’s as much as you’d produce driving a small car from Sydney to Cairns and back!
