Hi, just caught the last bit of tonight's programme (4th Sept) and I thought the experts said the family had to aim to use 1Kwh (ie 1 unit) or less electricity a day and they averaged about 1.2.

bead cavity wall insulation
Hi everyone, I've been trying for a year to get cavity wall insulation for my freezing home.

Change one thing?
After feeling a little shocked at seeing the 'dumped' programme it got me thinking about how I can change my ways in order to reduce waste going to landfill. It's a horrible thought to think that all that waste is going to be there for thousands of years. You hear about landfills all the time, but I think it was shocking…
