Standby Power: Unplug fully charged devices to prevent standby power loss and extend battery lifespan—small savings accumulate over time.

Sustainable Email: Sending and storing emails consume energy, increasing carbon footprints. Sharing links instead of attachments and deleting unnecessary emails reduces data centre energy use.

Smooth Acceleration: While car-free commuting is best, maintaining a steady speed and avoiding braking or rapid acceleration also reduces emissions and fuel consumption.
