Have you ever received your power bill & thought "what the
heck happened here?!" or "who used all this power?!" I have. Gone are
the days of when power was about 10c per Kw/h & your bill was a
couple of hundred dollars. Depending on where you live, you might have
peak, off peak, summer tariffs etc. & it's a bit confusing how the
utility company actually calculates your bill in the end. Well you know
what? I detest 'donating' money to utility companies. One of my pet
hates. I prefer to save power. They rake in millions of your hard earned
dollars every year & at times when you most need it, there's
blackouts in summer & it's 100 degrees in the shade! Or there may be
'brownouts' when you're working on your PC or taping a TV show &
it's ruined what you were doing as your screen flickered off for a
second. "Increasing burden on our infrastructure" they say, "the
population explosion creates a high demand on resources" sprouts the
government. It's time to fight back! Stop 'donating'!
Some of these tips are SO obvious but do you reckon your kids know to save power?...or practise them?
Probably not. Train them too.
