Energy saving tips
From: Catherine Renton (@rentswrites)
#journorequest I’m looking for experts who can offer easy, preferably not obvious energy saving tips, for an article in a broadsheet. Email rentswrites@gmail.com if you can help! Deadline Monday
Suggested angles
Behavioral energy savings: How small daily habit changes (like adjusting thermostat timing or appliance placement) deliver measurable results without technology investment
Hidden energy drains: Identifying and fixing less-obvious culprits like phantom loads, inefficient water heating patterns, and poor insulation in overlooked areas
Cost-benefit analysis: Practical tips that deliver ROI within 6-12 months, moving beyond clichéd advice to focus on what actually moves the needle for households
Example quote
“Most people focus on the obvious, but we find that addressing invisible energy waste—like how your refrigerator cycles or where cold air actually escapes—often saves more than the popular tips combined.”
Position yourself as someone who debunks common energy-saving myths and offers counter-intuitive, science-backed alternatives that readers haven't heard before.
Know someone perfect for this?
