Come Off It

Today is Come Off It day, when people are being encouraged to cut their electricity consumption and send a message that there are better ways to cut CO2 production than building nuclear power stations.

If every house saves just a few Watts, that's one less new power station that we need to build. And if every house saves 100W through simple actions like switching off a light that's not really needed, or being careful not to overfill the kettle, we’d save not one power station but several.
