The Powerdown Challenge

Nudge!
27 January 2026 Episode 3 1 min 40 secs Image: Turn off the lights.

Today’s nudge? The Powerdown Challenge. Track and minimise your energy use for a full month.

It’s dead simple: Grab a notebook, app, or even your energy bill app, and start paying attention. Log when lights stay on too long... Devices stay plugged in, heating blasts unnecessarily, or that kettle boils for one cup.

Just tracking alone flips a switch in your brain — you spot the sneaky waste you never noticed.

Then tweak: unplug chargers, lower the thermostat by 2 degrees, and air-dry clothes.

Studies show households that track and get aware can cut energy use by 20% slashing bills and CO₂ without big lifestyle overhauls.

That’s real money back in your pocket and fewer emissions heating the planet.

Commit for 30 days. Watch the numbers drop.

So this month: Powerdown mode on.

Big savings. Tiny daily choices.

That’s Nudge #3.

Small move. Real change.

See you next weeks for the next one.

In the meantime... turn it down, tune in, and watch the impact grow.
