Energy : Use Less - Save More by Jon Clift & Amanda Cuthbert
Did you know that: our demand for electricity grows by about 3% every year? . just lowering the temperature of your thermostat by 10C can reduce your energy bill by 10%? . energy-efficient light bulbs last about 12 times longer than ordinary bulbs, and each one will save you about £7 a year? . almost 40% of all the heat that we buy to warm up our rooms escapes through our walls and roof space if they're not insulated? . if we didn't leave our TVs and other gadgets on stand-by, we could shut down two power stations? We're all using more and more energy: charging up our mobiles and laptops, keeping our rooms so hot that we walk around in short sleeves in the winter, or leaving lights on all day and night whether we are using the rooms or not. But the consequences of using so much so freely is causing our climate to change, and our energy bills to rise. Paperback; 96 pages
