Drinking hot drinks instead of cold drinks could save enough electricity to power all streetlights in a country. Mobile phone chargers are very inefficient and waste 95% of the energy they use when not actively charging a phone. The money spent cleaning chewing gum off streets each year in the UK could fund building hospitals or employing many teachers.

- 13. Your mobile phone charger is more powerful than it looks. And 95% of the energy used by the phone chargers in this country is wasted. They're only doing their job - i.e. charging phones - for 5% of the time.
- 14. Question Do you like to chew gum?
- 16. Here's something to chew on. In the UK, we spend about £150m every year cleaning chewing gum off the streets.
