“Every indicator on climate is heading in the wrong direction. 70% of the climate related deaths were in the #LDCs.

We need to ensure that LDCs, not only survive, but thrive in this era of climate disruption.”

Turn your refrigerator down. Refrigerators account for as much as 13.7% of the total household energy use. To increase energy savings, set your fridge to 37 degrees Fahrenheit and your freezer to 3 degrees Fahrenheit.

[Leneka Terika Scott @LenekaRhoden]

Energy conservation is the decision and practice of using less energy. Turning off the light when you leave the room, unplugging appliances when they’re not in use, and walking instead of driving are all examples of energy conservation.
