Research into energy waste

- Computers being left on.

Sprinklers that turn on during rainstorms or are activated at the warmest, sunniest times  of day. By watering during the day, as much as 20-25% of the water is lost to evaporation from heat and wind.

Keeping lights on all day even when sunlight could be used to illuminate a space properly. Lighting is responsible for one-fourth of all electricity consumption worldwide.

Recycling.

- Heating being on when no one home.

- Shops leaving light, tv and tills on over night.
