I disagree. If everyone did a little bit then it will all add up...theres no point in saying well so and so arent doing it so why should I. Ok personal wind farms and solar panels are a huge waste of money but getting different light bulbs and turning things off at source rather than leaving on standby is going to save money with very little much hassle

I'm not saying we shouldnt do anything at all...

..I'm saying that this country does enough already. We are one of the world leaders at reducing carbon emissions from factories and cars. Its the world that needs to catch up to britain's example before any change will be noticed with global warming.
Even if everyone in the whole of the uk cycled to work and turned off all lights at 8.00pm, shared a bath once a month ...the effects would be miniscule in the whole scheme of things.

..I personally think that wind farms are an excellent idea. I would have thousands and thousands of them along the east and west coast of britain blowing back all that polluted air back to asia and america :rotfl:

I have bought several 4w mr16 bulbs from these guys....http://www.initiallights.co.uk/ they are pretty good. give about 20w equivalent to halogen.
