The challenge of cutting energy
Our Big Energy Challenge is a campaign
designed to save energy and save money.
It is taking place among Bath’s main
public-sector bodies, such as the council,
the universities, the hospital and the police.
[Full list here]
If you work for one of these organisations, you’re part
of the campaign.
All staff are invited to watch a short energy-awareness
presentation about what you can do to save energy at
work and at home.
At the end of the presentation you can enter a quarterly
prize draw with the chance to win record or book tokens.

Challenge 1
Some appliances like phone
chargers continue to consume
electricity when not in use.
Switch off at the socket!
Switch mobile phone chargers
off at the socket. Unless you do
this, your charger will continue
to work even when it’s not
actually charging up a phone.
You can tell it’s using electricity
because it’ll be warm. Across
the UK, mobile phone chargers
left plugged in waste electricity
worth over £60 million.
