Share your energy saving story

What are you doing to help you save energy at home or in your workplace?

With the increase in energy costs over the last few years many more of us have been making changes in both our homes, businesses and community to try to reduce our energy use and cut our bills.

We want to hear about the actions you are taking, whether it is a small low cost adjustment in your home, or a larger project where you have made the switch to a fully renewable power source. Please add your tips, upload a blog or vlog on a certain topic related to energy saving or share details about energy efficiency measures you are trying out in your home and report back on its success at a later date.
