The tariff of electricity in Malaysia will be increased this month, but this doesn't exactly mean Mr Nazul dan Mr Nine will get extra bonus this year, instead this is a move by the government to reduce its burden on subsidy every year. Instead having you all whining about it, why don't you be a little bit considerate and start to save power and electricity?
Ok, here is what you can do at home.
Computer: More often than not, we do not flip off our monitors even after we have closed our pcs. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work.
Light bulbs: You must have heard compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs being advertised all the time. You must have even used them at times. As a power-saving measure, begin using the compactfluorescent light bulbs as often as you can. If you are conceiving they are more pricey than the standard bulbs, the gains of the CFL bulbs will prove lots more economic in the long turn by the amount of power they will save.
Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest you are comfortable with. Try not to put it at too high or too low temperatures. Setting the air conditioner at fair temperatures helps oneself preserve lots of power.
Washers: Minimize the amount of washings by cleaning a full load of garments every time.
Television: Unplug the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power. This includes your astro decoder. When there is no updating done by astro, it is better to switch off the decoder as having it in standby mode still cost almost 90% of its normal power usage.
Water Heater: Keep the geyser thermostat at the minimal heat. You do not need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for overly long.
Refrigerator: Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the refrigerator. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime, thereby conserving energy in heating it.
So, there you go. I know every one of us like being pampered and have all our life supported with subsidy without having to try enough, as all that important tasks of searching for financial support and make the world green is solely the government's job, but... please try. You can actually make a difference without knowing it.
