• Organised cooking activity can save about 20% Energy.
• Use right quantity of water required for cooking and reduce gas/kerosene usage by 65%.
• Cook on low flame as far as possible and save 6 to 10% energy.
• The pressure cooker should be loaded 2/3rd of the foodstuff is solid & hard and ½ if loaded with liquid. Properly used pressure cookers can save upto 50 to 75% of ENERGY AS WELL AS TIME.
• COOK YOUR FOOD IN SOLAR COOKERS Cook anything except ROTI AND save cost of 2 LPG Cylinders annually.

USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR & AIRCONDITIONERS EFFICIENTLY

• Allow refrigerated foodstuff to come to room temperature before heating AND allow heated foodstuff to cool down to normal temperature before placing it in the refrigerator. Avoid frequent opening & closing of refrigerator & air-conditioned rooms.

PLANT TREES

• Place the refrigerator about 6 inches away from the wall to allow air circulation.
• Air-conditioned room must be leakpfoof.

USE PROPER LIGHTING & EFFICIENT LIGHTING DEVICES

• A tubelight (36/40 watt) gives more light than a 60 or 100 watt bulb and will consume 40 to 60% less power. Tubelight with electronic choke is even more energy efficient means of lighting USE DAYLIGHT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
• Lighting devices like bulb, tubelight, etc. consume energy according to their capacities. Use appropriate lighting according to your requirement. A so-called zero bulb uses 12 to 15 watt per hour. Compact Flouroscent Lamps (CEL) are available in 5.7.9.11 watts capacities and they give more light output.
• Instant geysers are considered to be more efficient than storage type geysers. SOLAR WATER HEATERS OPERATE ON SOLAR ENERGY WHICH IS FREE OF COST.

ELECTRICITY IS AN EXPENSIVE AS COOKING FUEL – AVOID IT SWITCH OFF LIGHTS & FANS WHEN NOT REQUIRED STOP WASTAGE – WE CANNOT AFFORD IT – CONSERVE ENERGY.
