The Ultimate Green Earth Guide

Green Power, Energy & Water Saving

Are you being as energy efficient as possible? Here are a few tips:

  • Get an assessment to energy rate your home.
  • Seal the gaps under doors, floors and windows.  Draughts account for a significant amount of energy loss.
  • By replacing halogen and feature lights with LED lamps you can be up to 10-times more efficient.
  • Turn off lights and heating when the room is not in use.
  • Turn off electrical appliances at the wall when not in use.  Appliances left on standby still use energy.
  • Use the correct size and type of heater for the room.  Overheating wastes energy.
  • Set your hot water cylinder to 60°C, the minimum recommended storage temperature.  Warm air rises, so insulate your ceiling, it's one of the best ways to cut your energy bills.
  • If you're about to buy a new appliance, choose an energy efficient model by comparing the star ratings. 
  • If you have a dishwasher, try to use it only when it's fully loaded.
  • Use the sun to dry clothes when you can, not the dryer.
  • Select ‘cold wash’ on your washing machine and save energy.

  • Greenfleet

    Greenfleet

    Greenfleet exists to make a difference, not a profit.
    Greenfleet is a non-profit organisation, encouraging people to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and then offset any remaining emissions by planting biodiverse native forests through Greenfleet’s tax deductible offset program.

    With the help of Greenfleet’s voluntary offset program, you can easily reduce your car’s impact on the environment. For less than the price of a tank of fuel, Greenfleet will plant Australian native trees as part of a biodiverse forest to offset the emissions of an average medium car for one year. The resulting forests will also tackle salinity, reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and provide essential habitat for native wildlife.

    Greenfleet also plants native forests to offset the emissions generated by air travel, household and business energy use.

    Visit Greenfleet's website to find out how you can make a positive difference for the environment.
