Home & Garden

Yesterday, 28th February 2008, was the UK’s first “Energy Saving Day”.  Results from the electricity generating companies indicate that electricity consumption for that day was
marginally higher than the average! So much for that idea.

Personally, I didn’t know it was Energy Saving Day until I read about it on the BBC News website at lunchtime – half-way into the day. I asked my colleagues if they knew if it was Energy Saving Day, and they didn’t know either.

We weren’t alone in our ignorance – comments on the BBC’s website indicated that other people didn’t know about it either.

Looks like the publicity department of the organisation that thought up this idea took the concept to heart and consumed no energy whatsoever in telling people about it.
