FOOTPRINT
• Conserve energy

2. Turn off the spare lights that I don’t use at home
3. Turn off the air conditions before I sleep
It was really hard for me to change my habits as I was used to turning on all the lights at home
even if I’m not using, since I don’t really like my house being dark. I used to always keeping my
air conditions on when I’m asleep, so that I get to sleep peacefully without mosquitoes
disturbing me. After a week of changing my habits, it feels like I’m saving a lot of electricity at
home and saving the world in a way.
