Recycling
Using energy saving light bulbs
Buying things like recycled paper or organic food
Installing loft insulation
Taking a shower instead of a bath
Switching to green energy
Walking, cycling or using public transport instead of a car

If you or anyone you live with ever do one of more of these things or anything similar then I’d like to hear from you. I am a researcher at Sheffield University looking for Sheffield households to participate in an exciting study.

Taking part in the study will involve a group interview with all members of your household together. There will be a reward for your time.

If you are interested in taking part or would like to find out more please contact me, Anna Scott:

Telephone: 0114 222 3386 (please leave a message if I am not there)
Email: anna.scott@sheffield.ac.uk

Do all those. No car, so have to walk or bus. Toilet uses rainwater for flushing. Green waste gets composted.

we use energy saving bulbs, and i topped up the loft insulation when i laid some flooring in the gable ends.
We recycle paper (although how green that is is apparently debatable).

Does anyone know where I can get Energy Saving lightbulbs with the equivalent light output of a 150W bulb from?

We have a very large through lounge that is lit at each end with 150W bulbs. Can't go smaller without it getting dim, and don't want to replace the light fittings.

Cheers

Joe
