Young Britons always leave the television on
A study carried out by the Energy Saving Trust has concluded that British children are the biggest offenders when it comes to wasting energy.
The study surveyed over 3,000 children, from the UK, France, Germany and Spain, quizzing them about their awareness of climate change and what their own energy saving habits were. 40 per cent of those questioned admitted to bad energy saving habits such as leaving lights on and televisions on standby.
As part of Energy Saving Week (19-25 October), which starts today, the Energy Saving Trust has given 50 children video cameras to film their families own energy habits to get a better idea of how they can improve the situation.
