Energy used in homes is responsible for over a quarter of all UK emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas causing climate change. Making your home as energy efficient as possible will reduce carbon emissions and could also save you over £300 a year on your fuel bills.
Most of the energy we use in our homes is produced using processes that release CO2 emissions into the air. CO2 emissions are the most significant cause of climate change, so reducing your home energy use is one of the most important things you can do to fight climate change.

Hippo the Water Saver is the simple, proven and low cost water saving device to help conserve water in toilet cisterns. Every time a toilet is flushed the Hippo saves approximately 3 litres of water! Toilet flushing accounts for about a third of household water usage. You probably flush away as much water in a day as you drink in a whole month.
What is a Hippo?
Hippo is made from durable heavy gauge Polyethylene, which opens up into an open ended box shape when installed. The Hippo sits in the water underneath the large cistern float. When the toilet is flushed, the water confined within the Hippo is the volume saved. The Hippo also has a small hole which acts as a relief valve allowing slow circulation of water to prevent stagnation and evaporation. Click here to view more water saving products…
The latest figures from Defra and The Environment Agency show that the UK recycled almost two-thirds of packaging produced in 2008.
Last year UK businesses contributed to the recovery of more than seven million tonnes of packaging waste of which 6.6 million tonnes were recycled, the equivalent of saving roughly 8.9 million tonnes of CO2.
‘Climate change’ refers to changes in the earth’s temperature over the last 100 years. Since 1900, the average temperature on the planet has increased by 0.74 degrees Celsius and the UK’s sea level has risen by about 10 centimetres. Further global rises are expected, as well as more extreme weather events like flooding and drought.
There is very strong evidence that people are changing the climate with actions which create emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. In the UK, 40 per cent of these emissions are caused by individuals, mostly from energy used in the home, driving and air travel.
So what can we do? Some changes to the climate are inevitable, but there is still time to have a positive influence on the future. You can help minimise further changes and adapt to the new situation through decisions and actions which are often quick and easy to put into practice.

It is estimated that each person in the UK generates about 500kg of waste per year, and that each household throws away over a tonne of waste annually. Around 70% of our household waste has the potential to be either recycled or composted.
