You have to set priorities in life.And based on a survey by Tamedia, the priorities of Mr. and Mrs. Swiss can be guessed when it comes to saving electricity.From September 22 to 25, 2022, 16,296 people answered the media company's question: "What could you do without if you were forced to save energy?"A majority of the participants would be willing to do without the tumbler – namely 63 percent.Only 6 percent would do without their mobile phones.The Tagesanzeiger calculates that doing away with the tumble dryer could also have an impact on your wallet: an average ten-year-old tumble dryer uses 4.1 kilowatt hours per drying cycle.With 160 drying cycles a year and the average Swiss electricity price of 27 centimes per kilowatt hour, you save almost 180 francs if you hang out the laundry to dry.Interesting: 25 percent of those surveyed said they were willing to grope in the dark to save energy.That is more than you would do without a warm shower or a vacuum cleaner.Although there are studies showing that women only feel comfortable at higher room temperatures than men, they are also prepared not to heat the apartment above 19 degrees, writes the Tagesanzeiger.The Tagesanzeiger writes that around half of the population would welcome it if the Federal Council declared austerity measures to be mandatory even before a shortage occurs.(yum)A masked man caused fear among those present in a post office in Zug on Friday morning.He "threatened" an employee with a croissant, which he held like a pistol.
