Power Saving
New Zealand is in the midst of a power-crisis. Everyone has to save power. If we're careful now, we won't have to have brown-outs or black-outs later in the year.
In our flat our biggest attempt to save power is avoiding using heaters. The new flat rule is - before you turn the heater on you must have put extra clothes on, be under a blanket and holding a hot-water bottle. If you're still freezing then you are allowed to put the heater on. We're also trying not to use the dryer and to remember to turn off the lights when we're not in the room.
Unfortunately, my flatmate appears to have forgotten the new rule. I arrived home to find all the lights in the house on, and the heater going in his room. I'm naming and shaming you for that right here Derek! share this: facebook
