According to a recent Mintel study, going green and being more eco friendly is becoming a priority in many UK households.
The latest report revealed that almost six in ten adults in the UK aged 25+, claim to be more aware of their effect on the environment, and feel that they have a duty to protect it (2010).
There is no escaping the fact that the way we live our lives is having a big impact on the environment and slowly but surely, people are starting to do what they can, in a bid to combat high energy bills and global warming.
A few simple changes can go a long way and like charity, going green begins at home.

And set up is easy, with a single USB connection to your computer. Specially engineered speaker arrays come fully assembled on stands, for optimum performance and more usable desktop space. The handy all-in-one Control pod includes volume, single-touch mute, headphone jack and auxiliary input.

The Bose exclusive TrueSpace® surround digital processing circuitry, spreads the sound around you, so the enveloping effects seem to come from areas where there aren’t even any speakers. The experience is developed especially for computer listening — putting you right in the middle of the music, the game and the special effects.
Easy to set up and use.
Hook-up requires only a single USB connection from the computer speaker system to your PC or laptop — no special software, hardware or sound card upgrade needed.*

Radiator Panels fitted to the wall behind the radiator make use of the heat that conventional radiators waste, by reflecting the heat being radiated to the wall and bouncing it back into the room, which can save up to 20% off heating bills.
Heatkeeper Radiator Panels are quickly and easily fitted behind existing radiators – normally without removing them – giving instant results:
