Energy
1. UAE has one of the highest per capita commercial energy consumption rates in the world. Reduce your energy use – this means less contribution to the emission of greenhouse gases which leads to Climate Change.
2. Switch off lights during the day, and in rooms not being used. Wasted energy contributes in the change of the climate.
3. Replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
4. Look for Energy-Efficient Appliances; If you're shopping for new appliances for your home or office always look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo. These products are the most energy efficient in their category so will therefore cost less to run and help reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with climate change
5. Use natural light, instead of artificial lights by letting the sunshine in where there are windows.
6. Before you travel, unplug your TV and VCR or other electronics that use electricity even when "off."
7. Before running the dishwasher or washing machine, wait until you have a full load, you will save water and energy and help to protect the environment.
8. Invest in printers that print on both sides
9. Clean or change air filters on you’re A/C units in the summer so that they work more efficiently.
10. Are you going to bed! Don't leave your electronics stand by…Switch them off.
11. Don't use a regular bulb, use an energy saving bulb.
12. Make the switch, buy or switch to energy efficient lighting fixtures and bulbs.

Pollution:
1. Switch off your car engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait to eliminate harmful exhaust pollution.
2. Try to avoid using your car for short distances. Walk or cycle whenever possible and car pool with your friends.
3. Don’t keep opening your refrigerator door because CFCs are emitted every time you do so.
4. Use odour-free paints that don’t emit volatile organic compounds, to avoid production of ground level ozone.
5. Plan your trip wisely so you don’t retrace your route and emit more pollutants.
6. Unless you’re going to come back wiser (or richer!), is there any point in going to that conference abroad? Airplanes pump their fuel waste directly into our atmosphere.

Waste
1. Proper maintenance reduces waste. Maintain and repair products and keep appliances in good working order.
2. Did you just spot a litter bug? Let them know nicely to keep your city clean.

17. If you print documents, print on once-used paper and/or bleach-free, recycled paper with the highest post-consumer waste content available.
18. Create and use note pads from once-used paper. 

Water
1. Make it a full load. Run your dishwasher only when it's full; use the rinse-and-hold dishwasher feature until you're ready to run a full load.
2. Dry clothes naturally wherever possible rather than using the dryer.
3. Turn off taps if you do not need them, for example when cleaning your teeth.

12. Don’t buy bottled water. Invest in a water cooler.
