Saving energy in the winter - when taking a bath

If you like to take baths, don’t immediately drain the water after getting out of the tub. Leave the water in the tub until it feels cold to the touch, only then drain it. The energy was already spent heating the water, why sending it down the drain? The heat energy from the water in the tub will gradually transfer and heat the air. It will also provide some moisture to winter’s dry air.

Overall, this means burning less fuel and few more pennies in your packet. The saving effect can be cumulative. If everyone used this simple, cost free tip, we would collectively save money, save a lot of fuels from being burned and displace significant amounts of CO2.


Do more with less, help yourself, help the planet... It can be this easy.
