At DEA4YOU Limited we are committed to making a difference to Global Climate Change. We believe that everybody has a part to play in tackling this very serious issue that could effect our very existence. Every customer who books a Domestic Energy Survey with us will be contributing to help change the environment we live in for the better.
Climate change is real. The winter of 2007 was the warmest since 1921. The good news is that we can still change this and save our planet. The average temperature of the earth is increasing and we are all aware of the concerns of climate change on the environment.
The main human influences on our global climate are the emissions of key greenhouse gases, including CO². Approximately 8.6 billion Tonnes of CO² are emitted annually, and the concentration of the gases has reached unprecedented levels.
HARD FACTS!
- The UK has 1% of the world's population yet produces 2.3% of its CO².
- 4 of the 5 warmest years ever recorded were in the 1990s.
- 80% of us continue to use too much energy by having an un-insulated loft.
- Our electricity consumption has increased by almost 50% over the last decade.
- The sea level has risen by 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8") during the 20th century.
- UK homes account for 30% of the UK's energy consumption.
You may ask yourself, can 1 person really make a difference? The answer is yes!
If all UK households saved 20% of their energy around the home it would be the equivalent of taking around 8 million cars off the road or removing around 750,000 one way short haul flights per year.
If everyone in the UK installs just 1 energy saving light bulb, it would be the equivalent of planting 10 million new trees.
These global problems will only be solved by a global effort from all of us. Don't leave it to others, start today and do your bit to help.
It won't cost the earth for you to make a change, but it could cost the earth if you don't.
