Title Information+ Digital Rights Information+ We review 5 ways to reduce your household energy usage. 3. Transport For each 10,000 km you drive, each L/100 km less fuel consumption saves you $130 (based on $1.30/L). The government’s Green Vehicle Guide allows you to compare the environmental impact and fuel consumption of all new passenger and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Each version of each model gets a star rating, with five stars being the best. Mitsubishi i MiEV Tesla Roadster Toyota Prius Hybrid Lexus CT200h smart fortwo Honda Insight Suzuki Alto Mini One Alfa Romeo Mito Holden Barina Spark Volkswagen Polo Suzuki Swift Honda Jazz Nissan Micra Toyota Yaris Hyundai i20 Toyota Camry Hybrid Volkswagen Golf Hyundai Getz Lexus RX450h Interestingly enough, when we first began using this site in 2007 only four cars scored five stars.
Whenever possible walk, go by bicycle, use public transport or car pool. 4. The water efficiency label allows you to compare the water efficiency of different products. 5. See our report on GreenPower. Energy efficiency in Australia : Efficient Appliances - Energy Matters. As people around the world become more environmentally aware, consumers are becoming more thoughtful with their purchase decisions.
Conscious consuming is about being aware of the impact on the environment of what we buy. Learn more about energy efficiency programs The solution lies in ethical consumerism, where consumers make a moral choice to buy products that are made ensuring the environment, along with human beings, are not exploited. Products supporting principles of sustainability such as energy efficiency, fair trade, organic farming, and local production are all examples of responsible buying. In 2009, some Australian state governments embarked on energy efficiency initiatives delivered via electricity retailers to help householders reduce their energy consumption, and therefore lower greenhouse gas emissions.
There is also support in some regions under the Australian Solar Cities initiative. Save on solar power systems with energy efficiency Energy Consumption in Australia Lighting. Wwf - Reducing energy. Our high rate of household energy consumption and waste-production is contributing to the destruction of the planet.. The average Australian household produces around 14 tonnes of greenhouse gases per year. That's like the combined weight of nearly 100 first-grade footballers! With small changes to the way we use energy, we can make a big difference. How to reduce your energy consumption The smallest steps can make a big difference to Australia’s energy consumption.
The following tips outline practical ways that you can reduce resource usage and help our living planet. Easy to manage first steps towards energy efficiency 1. 2. Ways to make a bigger impact on your energy usage 1. Keep windows shaded with awnings or blinds Draught-proof your home. A ranking of electricity providers by Green Electricity Watch provides a simple guide to all the Green Power products and which ones make a real difference in reducing global warming.
About GreenPower. How does solar cooking work? How Does Solar Cooking Work? Solar cooking is done by means of the suns UV rays. A solar cooker lets the UV light rays in and then converts them to longer infrared light rays that cannot escape. Infrared radiation has the right energy to make the water, fat and protein molecules in food vibrate vigorously and heat up.
It is not the sun’s heat that cooks the food, nor is it the outside ambient temperature, though this can somewhat affect the rate or time required to cook, but rather it is the suns rays that are converted to heat energy that cook the food; and this heat energy is then retained by the pot and the food by the means of a covering or lid. This occurs in much the same way that a greenhouse retains heat or a car with its windows rolled up. Build a Simple Solar Cooker for $5.00 Building a Solar Cooker (more plans) How solar cooking works can best be explained through the following mental diagramming of the process as well as the above images.

We can have both - opinion - 17 March 2014.
Read full article Continue reading page |1|2 Rising energy bills don’t mean we should give up on cutting our carbon emissions. Quite the opposite CLEAN or cheap? That, increasingly, is the choice that energy consumers are confronting. It is not: energy can be both clean and cheap. The main battleground of the supposed conflict between cheap and clean energy is in Europe. In the UK, the issue was catapulted to the top of the political agenda last year when opposition leader Ed Miliband promised to freeze energy bills for 15 months if elected in 2015.
Their focus on energy costs is not surprising because, as surveys show, the electorate has noticed that bills keep rising. The main reason for these soaring prices is higher wholesale gas costs; they were responsible for 62 per cent of the rise from 2004. The problem is only going to get worse. That figure will increase substantially into the 2020s as more low-carbon generators come online.
New Scientist Not just a website! Promoted Stories. Efficiency could cut world energy use over 70 per cent - tech - 26 January 2011 - New Scientist#.U9bnNU0RDcs. Simple changes like installing better building insulation could cut the world's energy demands by three-quarters, according to a new study. Discussions about reducing greenhouse gas emissions usually concentrate on cleaner ways of generating energy: that's because they promise that we can lower emissions without having to change our energy-hungry ways.
But whereas new generation techniques take years to come on stream, efficiency can be improved today, with existing technologies and know-how. To calculate how much energy could be saved through such improvements, Julian Allwood and colleagues at the University of Cambridge analysed the buildings, vehicles and industry around us and applied "best practice" efficiency changes to them. They found that 73 per cent of global energy use could be saved by introducing such changes. Demand side Many people are unaware of the scale of opportunities for reducing energy demand, says Allwood.

Energy powers our vehicles, trains, planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on television. Energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm. Energy from the sun gives us light during the day. Everything we do is connected to energy in one form or another. Energy is defined as: "the ability to do work. " When we eat, our bodies transform the energy stored in the food into energy to do work.
Cars, planes, light bulbs, boats and machinery also transform energy into work. Work means moving something, lifting something, warming something, lighting something. There are many sources of energy. The forms of energy we will look at include: Electricity We will also look at turbines and generators, at what electricity is, how energy is sent to users, and how we can decrease or conserve the energy we use.
