Hi, my name is Laura McGee and this is what I do to live more sustainably.
嗨,我的名字是勞拉-麥基,這是我為了更可持續地生活所做的事情。
Most of the energy you use in the home is for heating and hot water.
你在家裡使用的大部分能源是用於加熱和熱水。
Check if you've got heating controls that they're set to a comfortable level and that your heating is only coming on when you need it on because if it's on when you're out, it's just wasting energy.
檢查你是否有暖氣控制,它們被設置到一個舒適的水準,並且你的暖氣只在你需要的時候打開,因為如果它在你外出時打開,它只是在浪費能源。
Another thing you can do is make sure you're not leaving your appliances on standby because if we switch everything off standby, we could be saving ourselves about £25 a year.
你可以做的另一件事是確保你的電器不處於待機狀態,因為如果我們把所有東西都關掉待機,我們每年可以為自己節省大約25英鎊。
As soon as it's 100% charge, you don't want to charging anymore.
只要它是100%的電量,你就不想再充電了。
So unplug it and switch off at the wall because you'll feel that the plug for the phone charger often gets warm.
所以要拔掉插頭,在牆上關機,因為你會感覺到手機充電器的插頭經常變熱。
It's getting warm then that's using energy.
越來越熱,那麼這就是在使用能源。
If you learn how quickly your phone charges up, maybe you could find a bit of time in the day over lunch or in the evening when you're watching something.
如果你瞭解了手機充電的速度,也許你可以在一天的午餐時間或晚上看東西的時候找一點時間。
The good thing actually about charging up outside the time when most people are using electricity is it's probably greener electricity you're using.
實際上,在大多數人用電的時間之外充電的好處是,你使用的可能是更綠色的電力。
That might be worth thinking of putting on a timer switch.
這可能值得考慮放在一個定時器開關上。
A lot of it's common sense.
很多都是常識性的東西。
It's just thinking about it.
這只是想一想而已。
It's just been more conscious of it.
只是一直比較自覺。
