We asked our community what steps you’re taking to cut their power bills and reduce energy usage. This is what you told us is working.
Three things everyone should know:
- People aren’t doing just one thing – they’re stacking changes that work for them: Most of our supporters are making four or more changes across their home, transport and everyday life. People are doing what best fits their household, their budget and their circumstances.
- People said that reducing use of petrol and gas is making life better: Supporters told us they’re feeling fitter from cycling, less stressed from catching the train, more connected to their community through local farmers’ markets – and more in control.
- The best advice is coming from each other: Our community has plenty of practical, tested tips – from the renter using an electric frypan to get around a gas stovetop, to the neighbour who coordinates shopping trips. The ideas in this guide are tried and tested by you!
