Fit at least one energy-saving light bulb

They're not cheap, these energy saving light bulbs, but over their lifetime they'll save you 65 quid and a lot more besides.

And we're not just talking about the pain of getting the wobbly step ladder out from under the stairs but the environmental saving this small action can make.

Most of us use light bulbs designed about 100 years ago, inefficiently producing nearly as much heat as light. And it doesn't end there, along with heat they produce carbon dioxide the nasty little gas that helps cause global warming.

In fact if every British household fitted just three bulbs enough energy would be saved to supply the entire country's urban lighting. (who does work this stuff out?). So lower bills over a year and a cleaner planet... err, why wouldn't you adopt this action?

Take action
If you like the action, why not give it a go? We don't want you to spend hours trying to find out how to get started on each action, so we've got some ideas here.
