1. Switch To Energy Saving Lightbulbs - 14 May 2007

   For all those out there still thinking about it – just do it. They come in all shapes and sizes (check out the shops mentioned in the above posts) to fit all types of fittings and modern ones warm up almost instantly (and no they don’t use more energy if switched off after a short period of time – only if you’re switching them on and off more frequently than every minutes). They are now really cheap (87p for some in Tesco, buy one get one free in Morrison) but even if you pay £5 for an LED spotlight it will pay for itseld in 6 months! It may be seen as the green thing to get your own wind turbine but changing 10-15 bulbs will save more energy! I have now changed about 15 at home and 6 in the office and hope to go totally low energy by the end of the year! Go for it!
