Earth Hour 2014 has come and gone, but as every eco-warrior knows, it\u2019s important to use power wisely not just on one special occasion, but 365 days a year. In honour of Earth Hour<\/a>, we asked our Faithful Fans to share their top energy-saving tips with us. You all gave us wonderful answers that are sure to inspire your fellow greenies \u2013 it was tough for us to pick our favourites, but here are a few we really loved!<\/p>\n

1.<\/h3>\n

\u201cBlankets and a hot water bottle in winter will keep you warmer than a heater can.\u201d <\/em>
\n\u2013 Christine Hugo<\/p>\n

2.<\/h3>\n

\u201cA solar jar\/ light works very well outside for braai, you don’t need to switch on the security light or waste the batteries in your torch.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 Viana Krause<\/p>\n

3.<\/h3>\n

\u201cDon’t forget that power adapters (transformers for rechargeable appliances) also consume energy. Unplug them when not in use.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 Melanie-ann Diesel<\/p>\n

4.<\/h3>\n

\u201cAir dry towels and linen in the sunlight, draped over a lavender bush – saves on energy, as well as giving your pillowslips a wonderful, soothing scent to lay your head on at night.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 Leisl Maloney<\/p>\n

5.<\/h3>\n

\u201cTry and make one weekend day a day in which you don’t use the car. We have also done this on some Saturdays where we walk to the shops and the local library.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 Carryn Paikin<\/p>\n

6.<\/h3>\n

\u201cOnce you have boiled water in your kettle, put the rest in a flask to use during the day.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 Ondria Ann Hart<\/p>\n

7.<\/h3>\n

\u201cUse a consol solar lamp instead of switching on the lights at night to save electricity. It’s safer to use than candles and is great to put on the table as a centre piece when having dinner.\u201d
\n<\/em>\u2013 Ruweida Muhammad<\/p>\n
