Energy Conservation
Saving Energy
Taking action to reduce your energy use through making changes around the home, considering how you design your new house, or how you operate your business can help both your finances and the environment.
While renewable sources of energy are on the increase, the majority of the energy we consume is still generated using fossil fuels. The process of extracting these fossil fuels has impacts on the natural environment and their use to power our offices and homes emits carbon dioxide - a gas that contributes to climate change. By reducing our energy use at work, school and at home, we are reducing the levels of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
Conserving energy is also a good way to trim excess costs from the family budget. There are some simple things that you can do to save money on your various energy bills. Firstly, visit Council's PowerDown Campbelltown web page and watch the video on the programs we are running.
You can also visit the SA Government's energy web pages for loads more information on managing your energy use.
