Think Green is our mission to make iQ a greener place to be. 

It goes to the heart of how we operate our buildings and we're proud that all our electricity comes from renewable sources. We've already saved millions of kWh by being smart about our energy use - now it's down to our residents and iQ team to do their bit by recycling, saving water and using eco-friendly products. 

Here are some of our top tips. 

Rinse, recycle, repeat

Rinse out food and drink containers before recycling to make sure batches don't get rejected.

Let your lights sleep

Switching off your bedroom light for 8 hours a day is equal to planting 45,000 trees

Circulation

Keep your radiators clear to let heat circulate and make your energy use more efficient

Close 'em up

Keep your windows closed when your heating's on so you're not heating the outside too

Pull the plug on wasting energy

Standby's not enough - unplug your electricals to save the most energy

Just a quick one

Cut down your showers to reduce hot water use and save the world around us
