Working together to cut energy use

The organisations taking part in Our Big Energy Challenge are all members of Bath and North East Somerset’s Local Strategic Partnership. They have joined the project because they are committed to tackling climate change, saving energy at work and helping their staff save energy (and money) at home.

Challenge 12

Switch off your monitor when you leave your desk – even for just 20 minutes
