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.

Funding for the project finished in April 2009, but the success of the campaign to date means that Our Big Energy Challenge lives on.

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.
