Do another exercise if you wish or pretend to be an energy making machine.

Jogging burns approximately 10 calories per minute!

Jogging for 1.42secs uses the same amount of

energy as is needed to light one energy saving

bulb for 1 hour.

Jogging for 8.36secs uses the same

amount of energy as is needed to light one

normal bulb for 1 hour.

Be energy – efficient!

But what can I do?

If every household installed two energy efficient light bulbs, enough energy would be saved in a year to supply all street

lighting in the UK.

Always remember to switch the bathroom light off after you go to the toilet.   Only fill the kettle with the amount of water you need.   Don't leave your computer on after you're finished using it.   If you feel cold try putting on a jumper before you turn up the heating.
