It is known by most adult people in the world that using less energy, means we save money on our gas and electric bills, and more importantly the damage to our environment, to our planet is lessened.
We are also in danger of using up our valuable resources.
And so people everywhere are coming up with new energy saving ideas all the time.
Generally in the home families are more aware, and so turn lights off when leaving rooms, and turn all electrical appliances off at the mains at night, or whenever they aren't being used during the day, as opposed to leaving them on standby.
A lot of families recycle their empty glass bottles and jars, paper, and plastic cartons, along with garden waste.
Energy saving light bulbs should be used as these not only last longer but need less energy to run.
Motion detectors connected to the lighting system in a home or office are a great way to make sure lights are turned off when there is no one in the room.
If your computer is not being used for a while in the day, make sure to put it on its lowest power settings.
Choosing the right central heating system for your home is essential to both saving energy and heating your house efficiently.
Badly fitted boilers not only present the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, but also they run very badly and the cost to keep them running, is much higher.
So it is always a good energy saving idea to have a properly installed heating system with a programmable thermostat, in your home, with also a yearly boiler check by a registered gas specialist, to keep it all running along as it should.
A little trick is to always try to switch to the best deal with energy providers every now and then to save on your energy bills.
Another energy saving idea is to have solar panels installed into your home.
But this costs a lot of money if fitted by an engineer, however building them and installing them yourself brings the cost down by the hundreds.
But before you try to build your own solar panels, you need to have the right tools.
You need to have a correct step-by-step process.
You will need to know where to find the cheapest, (or sometimes free) materials needed for your project.
You can get free solar panels now, and once fitted you need to know how to maximize their efficiency, and how to maintain them fully.
All in all this can cost as little as £200, and it is totally doable.
Another idea is to use wind turbines to save energy.
You can create massive amounts of energy for your home, using the wind's energy to power it! So I've covered some really great energy saving ideas.
We all want our children to be happy when they go out into the world to live their lives, & we should all be doing something, no matter how small, baby steps, to make sure our beautiful planet survives.
