Our long awaited energy saving competition will start tomorrow and it's a chance for all of you to give some extra thought to using your energy responsibly for a week. The baseline electricity consumption has been monitored in all houses and the house achieving the biggest relative reduction during the week will win a great prize! Read more about the competition here.
The reason that we're doing this competition is to get everyone thinking of little things they can do in their everyday lives to reduce their impact on the environment. Simple things like not leaving the computer on stand-by, boiling water in the kettle, switching lights off, not putting hot food in the fridge, and not leaving things to charge over night actually make a difference. If you make an effort this week, it will pay off! We will publish all results here on the blog and on the website, so everyone can see how the individual houses did. Do take this opportunity (you don't normally have someone taking your meter readings every week!) to see how much you can reduce your consumption just by being more aware!
It's a shame I can't be there to watch the process next week, but I look forward to seeing the results.
Best of luck!

Looks like a fantastic kettle design. It's great to see that companies are coming up with innovative ideas, like the Eco Kettle, to lower the energy usage of one of the most energy hungry appliances out there.
