Living More Thoughtfully: Easy Energy-Saving Tips

As the cooler weather creeps in, it’s a natural instinct for some of us to reach for the thermostat. Wanting to be more mindful of our bills and our carbon footprint, we’ve listed some easy tips to help you save on energy without having to pay out for extra gadgets.

Adjust Your Laundry Settings

A simple switch to a lower temperature setting can make a real difference to your energy consumption — but in a lot of cases can help protect your fabrics and extends the lifespan of your clothes, too. If you’re looking to extend your planet-friendly washing even further, try washing your clothes with the Guppyfriend washing bag to help prevent plastic fibres reaching the ocean and causing pollution.
