TIPS TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM

FOR STUDENTS:

• Turn off lights, electric fans, and appliances when not in use.

• Unplug chargers and devices once fully charged to avoid phantom energy consumption.

• Maximize natural light and ventilation instead of relying on air-conditioning during the day.

• Use energy-efficient bulbs such as LEDs instead of traditional incandescent lights.

• Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation whenever possible to reduce fuel use.

• Use social media platforms to raise awareness about renewable energy and climate action.

• Limit unnecessary electricity consumption from prolonged gadget and AI use.

FOR COMMUNITIES AND AS A NATION:
