Which reminds me, I need to buy a new bulb. The last old skool bulb in my house has now blown.

It’s handy for me that EthicalSuperstore.com stock a whole range of energy efficient bulbs for lots of different applications!

Tomorrow is National liftshare Day here in the UK, so save money and reduce your carbon footprint while you’re at it!

liftshare estimates that a typical carsharer will save themselves around £1,000 and 1 tonne of CO2 per year by sharing their daily journey.

Lots more resources on the site including a handy cost calculator that works out how much you’d save. I’d save £1200. I’d save even more money if I loved my bike!

Did you know that the average UK home could save around £38 per year by turning appliances off at the mains, instead of leaving them on standby?

This is the Bye Bye Standby:

The Bye Bye Standby works by switching off appliances at the mains by remote control.

The Energy Saving Trust commissioned a survey that discovered that people in the UK waste the equivalent of around two power stations’ worth of electricity each year by leaving TV sets and other gadgets on standby. Using Bye Bye Standby will help you reduce your electricity bill and prevent the release of unnecessary carbon emissions.

You can buy the Bye Bye Standby starter kit from ethicalsuperstore.com for just £19.99 - check out the product page for more information.
