Caught up with a pile of newspaper reading over the weekend and came across Fifteen painless ways to save the World, full for once with practical information on how to lessen ‘your’ impact on the planet.
I agree with most the fifteen points, though I would still like to find out why organic food has to be so much more expensive that normal food and why plastic carrier bags have still no been banned from our supermarkets!
One thing missing from the list though. Why is industry/business allowed to waste so much energy through the lights they leave on at night. If there is no one working, then what is the reason for the lights being on!
If Gordon Brown is as keen as he seems in wanting to tax everything, then perhaps a £1.00 per lamp left on at night would be a good start, I can’t think it would be a difficult tax to collect, you can see the potential tax every night!
I don’t mind being told that we have to save energy, in fact I agree that we need to cut back on our energy consumption, but come on industry/business allowed to waste so much?
