As we hear more and more on the TV, radio, and internet and in the newspaper about the importance of energy conservation, most of us probably know the basics of what it is about, and the impact on the environment and our energy costs. But most of us probably haven't looked beyond the basics.
Energy conservation is sensible for many reasons. An energy efficient home with modern heating systems will have lower energy bills than an energy inefficient home with old appliances for example. Also with the introduction of 'Energy Performance Certificates' for new homes for sale or rent, energy inefficient homes may even see their sale or rental values drop. Health issues also come into play - poorly insulated homes are more likely to have damp or mould which can cause health problems. The major reason for all the fuss in recent years however is due to the damage we are causing to our environment.

There are enough reasons for us to work towards energy conservation and it's not hard to undertake. There are actually no excuses for you to not do a single thing and if everyone did the minor things, our world will be better.
