Competition entry about saving energy at home

I do lots of things to save energy at home. I save water. I use a little water to clean my teeth and wash my hands. When I was younger, I didn't use to save water. I used to recycle paper, plastic, glass and aluminium before the recycling factory closed. We still have two different bins, one for the food and one for the things than can be recycled.Also, I try to reuse things, like plastic bottles. I use them to plant plants. I usually switch off the lights when I get out of the room, but sometimes I forget about it. I never leave my computer on when I'm not using it. I think that the problem is the over-consumption. We must consume less and save energy at home. If we do that, the world will be a better place!
