6. In a house with no insulation, where is most of the heat lost? Through the floor? Through the walls? Through the roof?

7. Through the walls – if possible, always insulate.

12. How did the UK do? Overall, we made an energy saving of 5.62% And we saved….. 17.4 tonnes of CO²

13. What does that mean…? 1 tonne of CO2 = 3,001 miles in a car 5,791 miles on a bus 10,321 miles on a train Or 57,000 cups of tea

14. 2010 – 496 million tonnes of CO2 30% from home energy use Average carbon footprint of someone in UK is 15 tonnes of CO2 Energy use in home accounts for 3.2 tonnes of CO2

15. 1 broadleaf tree left to grow for 100 years will absorb in the region of 1 tonne of CO2

18. What has made the savings…. Most people just wanted to save money Surprising increase in interest in environment Substantial increase in number of people who now always: turn lights off when they leave the room; Turn the TV off at the wall; only boil the amount of water needed; and Set the thermostat lower. Has been significant increase in number who feel more informed about energy efficiency in their home and their appliances.
