Keep lights off when you don’t need them.

Use the energy-efficient charcoal stoves instead of the traditional metal ordinary sigiri. These save more than 50% of wood consumption.

For institutions, use the improved institutional stove, which reduces on firewood consumption.

Use the improved household stoves like the Rocket Lorena stove, which saves 50-60% of the fuel, used by an open fire.

For lighting at home, use low-voltage bulbs. For example, you can use 40 watt bulbs instead of the 100 watt for they provide the same amount of lighting but consume different amounts of electricity.

Clothes should be damp when ironing because very dry clothes require more power to iron.

Ironing many clothes at a go saves energy other than having to iron a cloth, when you need to use it.

Switch off appliances such as televisions, radios, and fans when you do not need them.
