Take only as much water as required for drinking. Instead of throwing away the rest, water the plants. Or collect it in a pail to use for the floor. Children can be encouraged to water the plants in the school-yard with left-over water in their bottles.

While washing clothes, the water from the last rinse can be used to wipe the floor or clean the bathroom.

Bathe from water in a bucket rather than using the shower. While brushing teeth, shaving or washing vessels, turn on the tap only when required.

While cooking, use only as much water as required. Water left over from washing lentils, rice, vegetables can be stored in a pail and used to wash the kitchen platform. Wash again with a little clean water.

Switch off lights, fan, other electrical appliances when not in use whether at home, school or office.

Try to work together in one room. During holidays, siblings can play together in one room to save electricity.

Iron the heavy clothes first and the light clothes later after switching off the iron.

First make all preliminary cooking preparations, and then light the gas stove. If there is a phone call, switch off the stove.

Use only as much water as required while cooking a dish. Use shallow and if possible, copper-bottomed vessels. Cover the vessels.

If possible, everyone at home should eat together. Reheating food destroys its nutritional quality, changes its taste and wastes gas.

Never heat anything immediately after removing from the fridge. First bring it to room temperature.

Use public transport. Use private vehicles only when necessary. People traveling in same direction can do so together (car pool).
Or use commercial mass transport (auto or taxi) instead of own private vehicles

If held up at the traffic signal for more than 2 minutes, switch off the engine.
