ENERGY SAVING WEEK (No. 2)

Early day motion 2816, tabled 19 October 2006 by Mark Lazarowicz (Labour). Signed by 96 members.

That this House congratulates the Energy Saving Trust for organising its 10th annual Energy Saving Week from 23rd to 29th October; urges all hon. Members to make a pledge to adopt at least one of 10 small measures to reduce the amount of energy they consume on a daily basis: boiling only as much water as they need, turning down thermostats by 1°C, switching off appliances and not leaving them on standby, installing cavity wall insulation, topping up loft insulation to 270mm, replacing light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones, installing a condensing boiler, buying energy saving recommended appliances, washing laundry at 30°C and leaving cars at home for short journeys; and notes that since the Energy Saving Trust was established it has made lifetime savings of around 20 million tonnes of carbon.
