It also says "Turn off your taps when brushing your teeth". I guess he could manage that, but my boiler problem currently means I have to let a few million gallons go before the heat kicks in to wash his face! Grin

Don't tell the teacher, or I'll have the climate police round. Wink

We are careful with water - lower bills.

No shortage of water but it waste the processing of it

Thankfully, I'm not metered....yet. Wink

Never mind - it saves a fortune over rates

I'm not at all surprised when one considers;

BOCA RATON — Confused Palm Beach County voters helped thwart Al Gore's 2000 bid to become president of the United States, but he was introduced as "president of the planet" when he returned here Saturday night to deliver an environmental lecture.

or

"So, in essence, he's president of the people. He's president of the planet. And the work that he's doing is more important than any other work that could possibly be done."

or

Organizers allowed the media to cover only the first few minutes of Gore's presentation.

Actually, how much leccy does a TV in standby consume? Undecided

Modern ones consume nothing measurable (a watt or two). Only item of mine that is not insignificant is the sky set top box (20 watts - it doesn't change significantly from when it's "on"!). And that's the only item that doesn't recover from disconnection from the mains in a reasonable time. Angry

If only the tree-huggers knew about Murdoch's carbon footprint he'd be strung up by now. Grin

Think of it this way - do you go around unplugging electric clocks at night? - because they probably take about the same power. Wink

30-odd years ago we were told to unplug electrical items at night to stop global warming, well, to stop your house catching fire anyway.

Anyone remember that annoying couple with 'their bedtime routine'.

Why waste time teaching kids stuff that will really help them and create thinking, questioning individuals with a desire to learn when it's easier to scare the bejesus out of them, and begin conformity at an early age.
