Download YOUR ‘Climate Crime’ cards ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ON ANOTHER CLIMATE COPS MISSION?
Use your skills of investigation to help the Climate Cops cut down on the climate crimes that are taking place in your home and make your house more energy efficient.
Download the ‘Climate Crime’ cards and use them to
search your home to make sure that none are happening
under your own roof! Then build your ‘Climate Crime
Case File’ and report back to your family to make sure
they don’t commit those crimes again (or else)! You may
need to keep a watchful eye over them by revisiting the
case every week or two to make sure they don’t slip
back into any of their old habits.
You can spread your search even wider by adding
even more ‘Case Files’ to your notes. What
about the homes of your uncles, aunts or
friends from school?
Climate Cops never leave the TV on standby...
it wastes so much energy Climate Crime: Does everyone remember to turn the
T V off properly after they’ve finished watching? If not,
who are the suspects?
Case notes:
Using the tumble dryer on a sunny day...
Climate Cops say absolutely no way! Climate Crime: Have you caught anyone drying their
washing in the electric tumble dryer when it ’s a nice day
instead of using the washing line outside?
Case notes:
Did you know? In the UK alone, we could save over £230 million on
our electricity bills if we didn’t leave appliances on
standby or plugged in when they’re not being used. (Source: CRed)
Did you know? Using a tumble dryer on a nice day wastes energy
and causes a pointless release of carbon dioxide.
To energy saving light bulbs, the Climate Cops say YES...
when it comes to electricity they use so much LESS Climate Crime: How many energy saving light bulbs
have you managed to detect around the house?
Case notes:
Leaving a mobile phone charger plugged in...
come on, we all know that’s a sin Climate Crime: Anyone guilty of not unplugging the
charger after they’ve finished charging their mobile
phone?
Case notes:
Did you know? If every house fit three energy saving light bulbs, it
would save enough energy to run the country’s
street lights for a year.

Did you know? A survey found that the average household has up to
12 gadgets or appliances left on standby or charging
at any one time. What a waste!

Lights on when there’s no-one there...
us Climate Cops would never dare Climate Crime: Have you walked into an empty room
with the light already on? Can you uncover who the last
person was to leave the room without turning it off ?
Case notes:
Wasting water is not the sign of a Climate Cop...
water is precious, we must never ever waste a drop Climate Crime: Have you witnessed anyone wasting
water? For example, did they leave the tap running whilst
brushing their teeth? Or, did they have a bath when they
could’ve had a shower?
Case notes:
Did you know? Wasting energy is not very smart because it not only
causes needless pollution but it also costs us money.
Would you just screw up your pocket money and
throw it away?
Did you know? A dripping hot water tap wastes energy and in one
week wastes enough water to fill half a bath!

Putting hot food in a fridge or freezer is in fact a crime...
Climate Cops know that waiting until it’s cool is the right time Climate Crime: Have you seen anyone commit this
crime? If it ’s hot, more energy will have to be used to
cool the food down.
Case notes:
Climate Cops say, keep windows clean to allow in the natural light...
it can help to heat the room without having to put up a fight! Climate Crime: Anyone guilty of not unplugging the
charger after they’ve finished charging their mobile
phone?
Case notes:
Did you know? If your family are shopping for new kitchen appliances
like fridges, dishwashers and washing machines look
out for the Energy Saving Recommended logo.
Those products will cost less to run and help prevent
climate change.
Did you know? You can also stop heat escaping through windows by
having double glazing. This can reduce the loss of
heat by half compared to single glazing.

Boiling a kettle full of water for one cup of tea...
is such a waste of energy, I most certainly agree Climate Crime: Have you spotted anyone heating up
more water than they actually need?
Case notes:
Leaving the room door open on a cool day...
really isn’t the Climate Cop way!
Climate Crime: Who’s guilty of letting the heat escape
by leaving the windows and doors open on a cool day?
Case notes:
Did you know? Every cup your family boils releases 25 cups of
carbon dioxide.

Did you know? If adults turned the heating down by just 1°C, it could
save around £40 a year… more than enough for a
brand new pair of trainers!
