Britain is biggest energy waster
Posted by DavidM in Save energy | 23 October 2006
A survey of 5,000 people across Europe by The Energy Saving Trust has found Britain to be the worst for wasting energy. At the other end of the table, the Germans were best. This isn't a surprise as Germany have always been far ahead of us in green behaviour.
As reported by the BBC, "Britons leave chargers on three times as much as Germans, they leave stand-by buttons on twice as much and forget to switch off lights four times as much".
So come on Britain - commit to save your 20% and let's stop being the dirty man of Europe.
One note of warning - when I committed I thought my message would just appear on my e-card to my friends and family. It doesn't - it also appears on the website so doesn't make sense to anyone else reading it.
