Energy Saving Week

After the announcement recently that UK was top of the European league of energy waste, this week happens to be Energy Saving Week.

Tips from the Energy Saving Trust:

Monday:
Buy better day
This should not be valid only for appliances. Buying bulk with less packaging also contributes towards using less energy.

Tuesday:
Boil better day
Why on earth do some people boil 1.5 litres of water to make a 25 cl cup of tea/coffee????

Wednesday:
Green wheels day
Do all car owners need a car?

Thursday
Turn to 30 day
I wish our washing-machine had a 30 degrees programme! And a cold wash programme. I really hate hand-washing woollen pullovers!!!

Friday
Light savers day
Some light-saving bulbs take ages to come on completely which is sometimes annoying, but great when you wake up in the middle of the night: no getting blind by switching the light on!

And for the most committed of you, have a look at ECOTRICITY.
