Choose the right lights:
LED light bulbs consume less electricity and and last longer.
​
LED light bulbs are the most energy efficient and last a lot longer. They use 75% less electricity and last 25 times longer than other bulbs. It takes about 1 LED light bulb to last 25000 hours of continuous use, meaning it will save you a lot of electricity and money.
Unplug Electronics:
Unplugs electronics when they are not in use.
​
TVs, microwaves, printers, scanners and other electronic appliances use standby power, meaning they still consume electricity when not in use. We think that’s called stealing; don’t let your appliances steal the electricity you work so hard to pay for. Unplug electronics that you are not using.
Turn off the lights:
Switch the light off when you are not using it.
Just the matter of switching it off when not in use. If you are not using it why leave it on? Though Ontario’s energy comes mostly from rentable resources insure that you do not waste it and only use it when necessary.

Insulation help keep the outside temperature out, to reduce the use of heating and AC.

Toronto:
More than 50% of Toronto’s electricity comes from nuclear power, and a very small percentage of it comes from gasoline and coal power, making Toronto one of the cleanest electricity consumption cities in the world. Though nuclear power is said to be a lot more environmentally friendly, it does produce nuclear waste and the small percentage of gasoline and coal power still contributes to climate change. With your help in consuming a little less electricity, Toronto will produce a lot less nuclear waste and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
