- Standby for CO2
The way individuals decide to live our lives is directly linked to global warming and climate change. It is not someone else who is to blame, and the 'not my problem' response is not adequate when you consider that our choice of car, how much we drive, if we use public transport and try to save electricity directly impact the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
Government research shows that electrical appliances on standby pump 1 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year.
Latest research
Britain could save 240,000 tons of CO2 emissions by switching off televisions.
Wasted energy of appliances on standby could power 400,000 homes.
