Tips

I freeze my food before the expiry date instead of throwing it away.

I use all my leftovers to prepare a weekly meal.

I choose a fridge and a washing machine A+++

I replace my bulbs with LEDs or compact fluorescents

I take the train to the airport instead of being dropped off by car

I take my used batteries and electronic products to the waste collection centre or to specialised shops.

I ask a consultant to carry out a free energy evaluation of my home.

I regularly defrost my freezer (every 6 months).

I drink local (or even Brussels) beer.

I have my mobile phone repaired rather than discarded.

I avoid air conditioning as much as possible (if I am too hot I hang a damp sheet on my window to cool the room. If that's not enough, then I prefer the fan.)

I install thermostatic valves on my radiators and set them to max. 3.

I place heat-reflecting panels behind my radiators.

I run my errands on foot.

I set my fridge at 4° and my freezer at -18° to keep my food in optimal condition.
