Residents of Australia's capital are upgrading their energy rating at home to save money on energy bills.
“The best energy is that which we don’t consume,” the French leader said at a news conference.
In the face of the energy crisis, many urban authorities are limiting the lighting of public buildings. The measure is designed to make savings, but also to act as an example to others.
The French government urges citizens to make the effort to save energy in the face of record high oil and gas prices, including by unplugging their wifi routers when heading off on holiday.
Saving energy is particularly important as consumers deal with high bills and as the EU as a whole might struggle to secure all the energy it needs to face the coming winter.
