Recycling can really contribute to saving energy which is not something we often think of. Using less water seems a more obvious one but how many of us remember to turn the tap off when we're brushing our teeth? I know it sometimes slips my mind.

If we try and really make a conscious effort, recycling and saving water can make such a huge difference. Just remember this when you think that recycling that one plastic bottle isn't worth it; it really is!
How will you be trying to save energy from now on?
