How can I contribute to Earth Hour?

First of all, set a sign against climate change today and turn off your lights tonight from 20.30-21.30. You can use candles instead or even better, come by at the Raum D/MQ to the 'Earth Hour Festival', starting from 18.30 🌍💚

8 very easy tips on how to save energy, money and time for EVERYONE:

1. Turn off the light when leaving the room.
   I prefer being in a light apartment too, but if I am not in a room it does not make sense if the light there is on.
2. Use an electric kettle to boil water.
   The water boils faster and needs less energy. So in this case you don't just save energy but also time.
3. Cover the pot or the pan
   Covering the pot/pan and turning down the heat makes you save 2/3 of the energy you would normaly use.
4. Air dry your clothes
   I hate doing housework except for hanging the laundry. This is one of my favorite duties and I always find it to be very meditative.
5. Make sure your dishwasher is full
   
6. Make sure your washing machine is full
   Make sure to not only wash 3 or 4 t-shirts at once but a full load. This will not just save energy but also water, time and money.
7. Use public transport, your bike or walk to get around
   Using public transport or a bike to get around is often faster than going by car. If I spend a lot of time studying in the library or just sitting and working I often have a lack of exercising. I also don't go to a fitness studio since I think it is a waste of money. So walking or taking the stairs does it's job too 😊
8. Unplug your electronic devices
   ​Even electronic devices on standby run energy. So make sure to unplug them
