WI welcomes energy efficiency gains

Marylyn Haines Evans, Public Affairs Chair of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI), said: “The fact that people across Britain are using energy more efficiently without reducing living standards is really good news at a time of austerity when we are all watching what we spend.

“People can achieve a lot through simple things such as insulating homes, using smarter appliances, and simply turning things off when we don’t need them – but good regulations help by persuading manufacturers to improve their products.

“By cutting energy waste, we’re reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and building a better future for the next generation, something that is a real priority for many WI members across the country.”
