Tell me how you do it, Lori, pleeeeease!

My daughter and I have been trying to convince our boys to "carbon offset" and ensure that they cut down on using electricity in other parts of the house and being more conscious about switching off lights, keep things off standby, etc.

I sadly don't have the space to have a separate reptile room, I haven't even got a room for each of my children, so have taken to sleeping on the sofa, lol. And I must say, I prefer to keep the animals in the living room where I can see them all the time.

Would anyone know which light/ heat providers are more energy efficient than others while still providing all the animals need? Fluorescent lightstrips compared to bulbs use less energy for example, don't they?
