How much can you save?

New research shows that Brits could save themselves £1 billion a year by switching to energy saving light bulbs whilst reducing their CO2 output by as much as 3.9 million tonnes.

Philip Sellwood, Chief Executive of the Energy Saving Trust, said: "The public have had a light bulb moment! They now realise that they can save money and help the environment but without compromising on the look and feel of their homes.

"It's true that a few years ago energy saving light bulbs were pretty ugly looking and didn't provide good light. That's certainly a thing of the past.

"If you changed all your remaining bubs to energy saving ones over the course of their lifetime they will save you over £600 and 2.7 tonnes of CO2."
