Energy Saving Day
« on: February 28, 2008, 12:37:44 PM »
Did you know it's Energy Saving Day?

I didn't but I noticed a piece on the BBC website and followed the link HERE. The idea being to turn off electrical equipment that you're not using.

Currently consumption is about 1% UP on average.

Somehow that makes me pleased.
