| Energy Saving Day - did you know about it?
February 28 was "Energy Saving Day". People were encouraged to switch off unnecessary appliances over a period of 24 hours and the national grid would monitor consumption and report on the effect.
The day was backed by a number of environmental organisations including Greenpeace, Christian Aid and the RSPB, as well as most major energy companies.
In the event, the day had virtually know impact on electricity usage and one of the reasons for this is thought to be lack of publicity.
Did you know it was happening?
