#MakeDoCREW - Carbon cut-outs

Spending more time at home means we are using a lot more energy than usual. It also means spending more time thinking about how you and your family use your home, appliances, and energy.

Switching your appliances and lights off (at the plug) when they are not in use is one of the quickest and easiest ways to start saving on average:
  • £15 per year when you turn off your lights
  • £30 per year when you turn appliances off stand-by

CREW launched its eco-action games workshops with children in Merton and Wandsworth in 2019 to help them learn just how much energy we use around the house and (most importantly) how you are never too small to make a difference and cut out carbon! During these sessions, young people have shown us they are much keener and more willing than some of their grown-up counterparts to talk about climate change and take action, but perhaps they need some help implementing these small behaviour changes.

​During lockdown, we need YOU to welcome the fun and games into your homes on our behalf (these guests are allowed). That's why this week’s #MakeDoCREW craft is the ideal rainy weekend activity to keep kids occupied and engage them with sustainability: energy efficiency reminders!
These reminders can be posters, light switch decals, door hangers, anything you like. It just needs to be something you can hang near a door, light switch or other plug to jog your memory and remind you to put our energy tips into practice and turn off the light, charger or appliance.

To give you a head start, we've included some inspiration. You can also use the door hanger template provided in this link as a starting point.

Simply grab some scrap pare, cut, draw, write, stick and hang your reminders near your most notorious energy vampires! ​Then tag us in your #MakeDoCREW creations @crewenergyldn.
