There are some simple steps people can take in reducing their energy.

For example:

turning your thermostat down by 1˚C could cut your heating bills by up to 10 per cent and save you around £100 a year.
turn radiators down in rooms which you only use occasionally
switch your lights off when you're not using them
turn appliances like TVs and phone chargers off at the wall rather than leaving them on standby when they're not being used
replace normal light bulbs with energy efficient ones
regularly defrost your freezer to make sure it's operating at full efficiency
draw curtains over windows at night to provide insulation for the room
move furniture away from radiators and heaters to allow heat to circulate around the room
