 Saving energy
The application of energy saving measures, in addition to translating into significant
savings in consumption, prevents the emission of millions of tons of pollutants into
the atmosphere. Leave the lights on unnecessarily; keep televisions or radios on
without anyone paying attention to them, these are just a few examples of the lack
of care for energy and the environment that we frequently incur. In cases and in
other cases, the solution is in our hands. Saving and using electrical energy
efficiently, as well as taking care of the childless environment by sacrificing or
reducing our level of well-being or the degree of satisfaction of our daily needs. On
the contrary, a change in habits and attitudes can favor greater efficiency in the
use of electricity, the rational use of energy resources, the protection of the family
economy and the preservation of our natural environment.

Recommendations
Substitute incandescent bulbs for low consumption or LED: they use 80 percent
less energy and last much longer.
With air conditioners, use them with a temperature of 21º. In the bedrooms they
can be lowered between 3° and 5°.
At the end of charging the battery of a cell phone, notebook or tablet, disconnect
the charger, because it continues to consume.
Place the refrigerator 15 centimeters from the wall for better motor air circulation.
Avoid opening and closing the door repeatedly.
Use the washing machine at full load and in short programs. Avoid the drying
function, since it is the one with the highest consumption.
Household appliances in standby mode consume 10 percent energy. It is
recommended to turn them off completely.
Set the equipment that cannot be turned off in energy saving mode.
Keep curtains and blinds open during the day; natural light is always better.
Paint the walls of your home with light colors; This helps to make better use of
light, both natural and artificial.
