Ways to save Electricity

There are electricity shortage problems all over Pakistan. But people do not care about the amount of electricity produced, they consume whatever they want even if it takes too much electricity. Therefore, in several places the power supply becomes very limited and ends up in long hours of load shedding and power cuts. Here are some quick and easy ways to save electricity.

• Don't always iron your clothes, unless it's really necessary.
• Every now and then, look around the house; in case there are extra lights on, turn them off.
• If people are working in different rooms, gather them in one room so that less electricity is used.
• Open doors and windows for ventilation rather than Air Conditioners.
• When choosing lights, prefer LEDs, as they don't consume much energy.
• When leaving a room, turn off the electricity supplies.
• When leaving the house, make sure ALL electricity supplies are turned off.
• Keep power supplies like Microwave and Television turned off.

I know it won't make much difference if I turn off an extra light, but if everybody helps me, we can make a big difference. 
Remember that if you try doing these things and the load shedding does not decrease, your electricity bill will.
