Save energy and reduce your Carbon Footprint

In these days of energy efficiency, recycling and greater environmental awareness, we are all becoming more conscious of our impact on the world we live in. While politicians may struggle to agree on anything, YOU can make a difference NOW by reducing your “Carbon Footprint”...

What is a “Carbon Footprint”?
This is the amount of the greenhouse gas, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂ ), that you release into the atmosphere as a result of your daily activities from, for example:

• Heating and lighting - power stations release CO₂ from burning fuel to provide the electricity you use
• Travelling - transport, cars and aeroplanes release CO₂ by burning fossil fuels - oil, petrol, diesel and gas
• Waste - the energy used to produce paper and packaging, and the cutting down of trees, releases and increases CO₂

How can I save energy and reduce my “Carbon Footprint”?
There are many ways, such as driving smaller-engined cars, using energy-saving lightbulbs, recycling rubbish and making greener choices when you’re shopping.
But there are a few ways to make a big impact straight away, whilst also reducing your utility bills:

• Double glazing: reduce energy wastage by halving heat loss (source: Green Consumer Guide)
• Loft and wall insulation: as much as 60p in every £1 spent on heating could be wasted without it (source: Energy Saving Trust)
• Boiler upgrade: a modern A-rated boiler uses less energy but produces same heat, could save you up to 40% off your bills (source: Energy Saving Trust)
