What dd you do today to reduce your energy consumption?

today I did nothing

energy consumption was quite low

Showered at work, saving me a fortune as I no longer need to switch on the hot water in the mornings at home – I do commute by bike so not prime motivation.

Today I am powered entirely by recycled horses.

rode to work, 8 miles, like i do most days ’cause i don’t have a car innit.

doing my homework on external insulation/cladding – my diy project for 2013.

Cycled to train station. Got train to work.

My energu saving day started at 0430 when the electricity on our estate decided to go away. This set off a load of battery powered alarms which meant no more sleep for me. So I didn’t shave or shower, merely brushed my teeth and set off for work on my pushbike.

Once at work I used their facilities to shower. Work is a great place to save energy because they don’t bother turning the heating on so you know you’re doing the environment good.

Then I authorised moving two servers from physical onto virtual and told two contractors we won’t be renewing them at the end of March. That’s it for today so far.
