    Re YANA,

    I totally agree that their business method is not any sort of way to actively cut pollution but...

    If lots of moneysavers get a free lightbulb (costing the company money) and then if they were to consider buying something that the site sells as MSers we woudl look for the best deal and not sure that this site would neccesarily come top of the list!
    So get your freebie and then shop around before buying from the site!!!

    No Ed_86, they use their money to buy carbon credits to prevent businesses and industry from using them.
    Unlike Rpoints /quidco etc we dont get cashback, just carbon credits bought on our bahalf with their profits.
    I would rather reduce my own footprint and allow industry to continue with their own business. There is so much we can all do without trying to nanny into everyones elses lives.
    Going for my mince pie now.

    the local salvation army church in wigston Leicester has a pile of boxes of 2 energy saving bulbs in their reception along with a sign saying please help yourself to a box if you are in reciept of the listed benefits.
    im sure they must be available in other salvation army churches and various places has anyone else seen any they could post and let others in their area know
