Limited use: Starting with the room you are sitting in, consider if you were to join your family in the dining room or take a call in another room. Would you just leave this room without any concern for the electrical appliances currently on in the room? If you would, stop, and take a look around. Switching off all the appliances even if you would be back in five minutes will help, even if it’s just a tiny bit. Every drop of water added up creates the ocean. Take a moment every day to think your way to a lower electricity bill.
