V odziv na predlog Resolucije o nacionalnih razvojnih projektih je včeraj 25 orgaizacij, ki so povezane  v dve koaliciji, na predsednika vlade naslovilo pismo, v katerem postavljajo vprašanja o pravni ali drugi podlagi Resolucije, transparentnosti procesa priprave Resolucije, pomanjkanju dolgoročne strateške podlage za projekte in trajnostnosti Resolucije.

V zimskih mesecih ponoči okna po možnosti zastirajmo s polkni oziroma roletami, da zmanjšamo izgube toplote.

Če imamo možnost, izberimo podjetje, ki dostavlja elektriko iz obnovljivih virov, kot npr. vodne ali sončne energije. Potenciali obnovljivih virov lahko stabilizirajo in celo zmanjšajo globalne emisije toplogrednih plinov brez dodatnih stroškov. Taki energetski sistemi so regionalno in lokalno dostopni, kar pomeni tudi bolj varno obliko energije in zmanjšano odvisnost regije/države.

Energijsko intenzivne dejavnosti (npr. sesanje, pranje ipd.) izvajajmo v 'cenejši tarifi'. Tako ne le plačamo manj, temveč tudi zmanjšujemo možnost gradnje velikih termo- ali jedrskih elektrarn (načrtovalci namreč planirajo gradnjo elektrarn glede na porabo v 'dražji tarifi').

Pri kuhanju lonec vedno pokrijemo in tako preprečimo izgubo toplote.

Ne likajmo brisač, posteljnine in ostalih stvari, ki jih lahko uporabimo ne da bi bile zlikane. Poleg energije prihranimo s tem tudi čas.

Namesto v sušilnem stroju, sušimo obleke na prostem. Če sušilni stroj že uporabljamo, storimo to le, ko je poln. Pri tem pazimo, da so filtri vedno očiščeni.

Pralni stroj uporabljajmo le, ko je poln. Temperatura vode in količina praška naj bosta čim nižji.

Temperatura v hladilniku in zamrzovalniku naj ne bo nižja kot potrebno. Običajna temperatura v hladilniku med 3 in 5 ° C, v zamrzovalniku pa med -32 in -15 ° C. 5 ° C nižja temperatura od potrebne porabi 25% več energije. Hladilnik in zamrzovalnik redno čistimo.

Grelnik vode (bojler) nastavimo na največ 60 ° C (dovolj je že 54 ° C) in ga redno vzdržujemo. Grelnik naj bo primerno izoliran.

Regulirajmo temperaturo v stanovanju! Pravilna temperatura v sobah za delo in življenje je med 20 - 21° C. Priporočene temperature so: hodnik 15°, kopalnica 23°, kuhinja 18°, dnevna ali delovna soba 21°, spalnica 18°. Vsaka stopinja manj zmanjša stroške ogrevanja za okoli 6 %. Ponoči je lahko temperatura še za kakšne 2-3° nižja. Vsakokar kadar gremo z doma, ugasnimo gretje.

Hitro, toda temeljito zračenje nekajkrat dnevno je pozimi bolj učinkovito kot rahlo odprto okno cel dan.

Hitro, toda temeljito zračenje nekajkrat dnevno je bolj učinkovito kot rahlo odprto okno cel dan (predvsem pozimi.

Hitro, toda temeljito zračenje nekajkrat dnevno je bolj učinkovito kot rahlo odprto okno cel dan (predvsem pozimi).

Naprave, ki jih trenutno ne potrebujemo, popolnoma izključimo. Televizor, mikrovalovna pečica in še kakšen gospodinjski aparat v stanju pripravljenosti (stand-by) porabijo skoraj toliko elektrike, kot če bi bili vklopljeni.

Namesto navadnih žarnic uporabljajmo energetsko varčne žarnice. Te na dolgi rok pomenijo prihranek ker trajajo dlje in porabijo manj električne energije.

Bruselj/Ljubljana, 30. junij 2006 - 25 članic EU mora do danes, 30. junija 2006, Evropski Komisiji predstaviti državne načrte za razdelitev emisijskih kuponov za drugo fazo sheme EU za trgovanje z emisijami. Slovenija bo, podobno kot številne druge države EU, ta rok zamudila. Evropska Komisija bo imela tri mesece za komentarje načrtov, načrti pa bodo uresničeni v obdobju 2008-2012.
