Saving energy and saving money go hand-in-hand, and these days it’s more important than ever to do both. That’s why we’re running our NEW BritMums Linky Challenge: The Watt Loss Challenge. Why not start 2012 with some strong energy efficiency resolutions?
Created in partnership with British Gas, the Watt Loss Challenge is an opportunity to highlight how you’re making smart choices at home – as an individual and as a family – to help reduce your energy usage and save money. You might have piled on the pounds and the watts this Christmas, so now that you’re thinking about your New Year’s resolutions, make sure you also have a think about your relationship with energy and how you can change it for the better!
British Gas is leading the national rollout of smart meters. A smart meter is a clever little energy meter with a monitor that helps you see how much energy you’re using, and what it’s costing you, so that you can make choices to be more efficient. We can all start doing things now to change our relationship with energy and start saving money.
The Watt Loss Challenge is part of our Smart Mums campaign in partnership with British Gas. Best of all, it’s easy to take part in the challenge and there are fantastic prizes up for grabs – we have four sets of £250 Sainsburys vouchers to help you be a Smart Mum on your next grocery shop. Maybe you’ll spend your prize on a new energy-efficient kettle or a warm jumper?
To join the Linky Challenge and show us how you reduce your energy consumption, all you have to do is:
- Take a picture, film a video or write about how you’re making smart choices at home. (It might be flicking off light switches when you’ve left a room, drawing all curtains in the house before going to sleep, insulating your hot water tank and so on)
- Post your observations on your blog and include the Smart Mums badge –> get the badge
- Add your link to the Linky below.
That’s it! Once you’ve done that, you’re entered to win one of the £250 vouchers and you’re also highlighting the importance of starting a new year by committing to energy-saving and green measures we can all do in our everyday lives!
