DGS is taking part in Switch-Off Fortnight from Monday 16th November to Friday 27th of November.  Here are some handy tips on how to save energy in your home:

• When you leave a room - switch off the lights!
• When you have finished using a device - switch if off! Don't leave it on standby.
• If you are making a hot chocolate or a cup of tea, only boil the amount of water you need.
• Put your laundry on a cool wash.
• Put on more layers, don't turn the heating up unless you really need to.
