[QUOTE="binky, post: 533521, member: 490"] lifestyle is the major change some people need to make. Being something of a tree hugger, I've always lived life in a frugal way. Make no mistake I don't live like a hermit, far from it, but all lights went to LED years ago, I try to make sure no lights are left on in empty rooms, unused rooms are not heated, TV gets switched off at the plug every night, installed solar panels 10 years ago, etc etc. All these little things have allowed me to pay off the mortgage and benefit from low bills long before the energy crisis emerged. I just wish I could get the house better insulated. I'm a little reticent about external wall cadding, I need to research exactly the right system for victorian single skin walls, as the last thing I need is to create damp issues. My son is threstening to come home for a month at xmas, as much as I love him I'm not looking forward to that because my frugal nature doesn't seem to have rubbed off on him. But that's not unusual for his generation, they really do need to learn how to reduce energy consumption and live life without 'stuff'. [/QUOTE]
