7 Energy Saving Tips

Generating energy from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas creates by-products that contribute to the greenhouse effect. The most important of these is CO₂ which makes up around 72% of all emissions. The average UK household produces six tons of CO₂ every year, which means that households produce about 27% of all the country's carbon emissions per year.

If you're planning a holiday this year, be aware that airline flights can drastically increase your personal carbon emissions. A return flight from London to New York produces 1.2 tons of CO₂ - that's nearly as much as an individual member of a household will produce in an entire year living at home!
