1. Smoke detectors in homes have saved countless lives.They sense the presence of smoke in the house and alert the occupants by making a loud beeping noise, giving them time to escape. In order to be kept in good working condition, they should be tested at least once a month and cleaned once a year. 

1. A blazing log fire is an attractive but inefficient form of heating, since most of the heat disappears up the chimney.Open fires also produce lots of smoke which pollutes the environment. From both a financial and environmental aspect, it is better to use other methods of heating.

1. Most people strive to buy a house with a garden, but what happens if the budget just doesn’t allow it? Well,those of you who live in an apartment can bring a bit of nature inside by placing some houseplants around your living space. All they need is a little care and attention! Be sure to check, for example, how often they need watering and what kind of conditions they prefer, such as bright or shady, warm or cool.  

1. Plans were announced today to build sixteen new homes in Brighton using 15,000 old car tyres. The developers claim that they will be so energy efficient that residents will have no utility bills at all! They will collect their own water and be powered by solar panels and wind turbines. The homes offer a way of tackling two of Britain’s biggest environmental concerns: the growing mountain of discarded tyres and the high levels of carbon emissions from housing. 

1. In a few years, we might be living in a ‘smart’ house: a house where the appliances have a computer fitted inside them, so that they can ‘communicate’ with each other. For example, groceries are ordered when your fridge sees that you are low on essentials. When you enter your home, temperature, lighting and music are activated according to your personal preferences. 

1. Accidents in the home account for about 40% of all accidents and a third of all accidents treated at hospital. The most dangerous area of the home is the living room, followed by the garden, kitchen, stairs, bedroom and bathroom. The main factor is age, with young children having the greatest number of accidents. Falls are by far the greatest cause of fatal home accidents, causing more than 2,000 deaths inBritain annually.  

1. There’s nothing more discouraging than spending hours at the weekend cleaning and organising your home, only to find it in a total mess again byWednesday! So, why not set aside fifteen minutes per day for maintaining your living space, in order to minimise clutter as the week goes on? Good ideas include assigning one small, quick job to each member of the household each day, and putting something back where it belongs every time you leave a room.
