As cash-strapped consumers struggle to cope with rocketing prices and rising costs of living, Together – the UK’s largest climate campaign, has launched a new Savers’ Guide at www.together.com, which reveals easy ways for people to save money and the planet.
The new guide shows that an average UK household could save up to 3 tonnes of CO2 and up to £1,144 per year on household bills.
The savings can be made by simple everyday consumer actions, including switching to low energy light-bulbs, washing at 30 degrees, installing home insulation, switching to green energy tariffs and not upgrading mobile phones.
Together is publishing the new Savers’ Guide, to mark its first anniversary since being launched a year ago.
This successful campaign, is backed by some of Britain’s major high-street brands including, B&Q, Barclaycard, British Gas, BskyB and Marks & Spencer, etc, who aim to make it easier and cheaper, for people to tackle climate change.
In just a year, voluntary corporate efforts pledged under the campaign, have helped British consumers save half a million tonnes of CO2, (equivalent to taking 195,000 family cars off the road for a year) and over £100million on household bills.
David Hall, Director of Together, says, “People can save hundreds of pounds a year by making greener everyday choices. The ‘green’ penny is definitely dropping for British shoppers, who are feeling the pinch from rising living costs.â€
