In this category, I write about small and large things that each person can do to help reduce their energy consumption and thus CO2 emissions.

You don’t shower for long and not hot, but there’s this one person in the family who just takes a long time to wake up? There is a very simple solution: the flow limiter. This allows the water flow to be limited to half. Anyone can install it and it costs around €5. According to energiesparen-im-haushalt.de, a family of four can save up to 47,500 litres of water and 1,950 kWh of energy per year with flow limiters.
