SPOTLIGHT ON CARBON FOOTPRINT - GIVE IT A CHOP BEFORE WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

WITH this year's World Environment Day's spotlight on greenhouse gas emissions, British households can clean up their act by switching to a renewable energy supplier or invest in the next best thing – an energy saving meter, says Nigel's Eco Store.


“Because a third of all carbon emissions in the UK come from burning fossil fuels to make electricity, switching to a renewable electricity supply is one of the best ways to reduce a households' carbon footprint. But if this is not possible, getting an energy saving meter can really make a difference,” says Nigel from Nigel's Eco.


“Using a meter in these times of rocketing energy prices can significantly reduce energy bills too - so stop wasting and start saving,” adds Nigel.


For as little as £11.99, the cost of the Ecosaver Energy Meter, households can work out which devices and appliances in their home or office are using most energy and costing them most money.


“Just by plugging an appliance into it and taking readings over a week for each appliance in turn, you can see the pattern of energy use and where you could be saving money and energy,” adds Nigel.


“And for something more sophisticated, I recommend the Efergy energy saving meter, costing just £44.99 – enables the user to monitor and calculate the cost of running a home or an office.


The smart Efergy energy meter, which can be used in conjunction with the Ecosaver Energy meter, shows how much electricity is being used in a whole house or office at any one time.


It can show how much electricty is being used, for example, when an appliance such as a TV is switched on, or left on standby – just this habit alone burns an extra £37 worth of electricity a year – and it can be taken from room to room to see at a glance which device or appliance is devouring the most electricity.


“By monitoring energy consumption, households can make small but significant changes to their lifestyle and start saving money on bills – even if it's just switching lights off when they are not in the room, or boiling only as much water as they need to make a cuppa,” says Nigel.


“For the seriously eco minded, I suggest the ingenious Online Bye Bye Standby Energy Controller that starts at £59.99. Lights, cameras, motion detectors and other devices may be controlled and monitored via the internet or a mobile phone, allowing interactive energy management.”
