Energy use in our homes
accounts for about a third of the UK's CO2 emissions,
yet UK households waste £6.5 billion of energy every year! There are
things that we can do to dramatically reduce our energy consumption and
help protect the environment. For instance fitting low energy light bulbs,
installing, or increasing the depth of, loft insulation and even installing
renewable energy devices such solar panels. Simple things like switching
off electrical items rather than leaving them on standby and switching off
unnecessary lights will also help. MCFG would like to promote these
issues and perhaps find a sponsor who would finance the trading in of high
energy light bulbs for low energy ones. Why not check out your carbon
footprint.
