Earth Day is\nmore poignant than ever during this Corona-Virus outbreak as we can really see\nthe difference slowing down is making to the Earth. In order to help keep the\nEarth in our thoughts after lockdown there are things we can think about and\ndiscuss right now – making changes where we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking after the Earth\u2019s Energy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are\ndefinitely using a lot more electricity in our house right now and so it is a\ngood time to discuss the different types, their effects on the Earth and how\nsustainable they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our house\nwe always make sure we turn things off at the wall that we are not using and\nare conscious of our energy usage; for instance only filling a kettle as much\nas we need it, using the washing line rather than a tumble dryer, putting a\njumper on and turning the heat down. Personally we have a smart meter but as we\nhave always been energy conscious only feel this itself is using electricity\nrather than encouraging us to use less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an\nactivity with the children why not think of all the ways that you could save\nenergy in the home. Maybe as an adult it is a good time to think about how\ngreen your energy provider is – and make the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also why not think about how you can save water in the home<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
