Being a digitally creative sort of bunch, we can't get away from the fact that we use alot of electricity simply running our PCs and Macs. We always knew that it would be a challenge to go zero-emission, but now that we've been in our newly purchased extremely old, grade II listed building a good six months, the reality of our impact on the environment is starting to slap us in the face a little more sharply.
We've taken our environmental policy incredibly seriously which is a good start, but in spite of our best efforts, we've now got our first and scariest electricity bill - and it's not pretty. Time to look at replacing our storage heaters (the building can't currently support a *real* central heating system!), and that's just the first on a long list of things that need to change!
I think we've still got a lot to learn but hopefully our trials and tribulations will help others learn from our mistakes.
It's definitely not easy being green but we're trying....

Just a thought about this, if you'd like a free energy audit thingey done to see how you can save £'s and discover the measures you can take - then I know a man that can help. He looks slightly like the ready break man with a warm glow [which I think is his secret Midas touch] but he certainly knows a thing or two about how to save energy and coins. I also have a few other bits of information in my lamp that might help too!
