Reducing hot water consumption around the home is easy(14/06/2010)
Everyone can do their bit for positive environmental action by reducing their hot water consumption. Did you know that 25% of the average household energy bill comes from heating water? Therefore, by reducing your hot water consumption you can reduce your energy bill (and water bill if you are on a water meter), lower your household's (and those of the UK) greenhouse gas emissions, and help reduce the adverse effects of climate change.

Small changes to cut down on water waste(11/11/2009)

In support of the Energy Saving Trust’s Energy Saving Week, which this year highlights our wast... [more]
Water Saving Week is the opportunity for households and businesses to consider how best to reduce their water consumption(19/06/2009)

Water efficiency is the only way to mitigate water supply problems(11/05/2009)
It is imperative that we start to think about how we use our water every day. The UK’s fresh water supplies are not limitless.
