    Default Free Energy Saving Stuff

    I came across this site where the Over 70s and folks on certain benefits or credits can claim Energy Saving Light Bulbs, a PowerDown, and/or a ShowerSmart.

    It's not often Power Companies give anything away for nothing, so if you or any members of your family qualify, grab it while you can.

    I am glad they are doing it (another site is the energy saving trust to look for things) but it should be more readily available for those who need it.

    I've been using energy saving bulbs for quite a long time. They have saved me a lot of money. I speak well for them.

    As have I - in fact one room has a LE bulb (a Phillips SL25) in it that is now about 15 years old and still working. We have been in our current house since '95 and that bulb was in our previous place for a good two years before moving......

    A great idea, more people should sign up to this. That way it will leave more electricity and water for me to use.
