EDM number 2253 in 2007-08, proposed by Colin Challen on 15/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Climate change and Energy.
That this House congratulates the Energy Saving Trust for organising its 12th annual Energy Saving Week from 20th to 26th October; recognises that energy efficiency is the cleanest, safest and cheapest way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions; notes that energy efficiency can play a key role in tackling fuel poverty; but notes that the Energy Saving Trust's independent research shows that people think a lack of time is a barrier to them taking energy saving measures; further notes that many measures, such as installing low energy lightbulbs, or only boiling the water needed for a hot drink, take very little time; urges all hon. Members to show leadership in their constituencies by supporting the Energy Saving Trust's Energy Saving Week and by promoting the Act on Carbon Dioxide advice line to their constituents; and notes that since the Energy Saving Trust was established it has funded or influenced measures giving lifetime savings of over 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
This motion has been signed by a total of 102 MPs.
