A third of Brits fail to be energy efficient in the home by leaving the TV on when nobody is watching, keeping the heating on when no one is in, and ignoring draughts.
A poll of 2,000 adults found nearly one in five (18 per cent) run the washing machine when it’s only half full, and 23 per cent leave the lights on in empty rooms.
Nearly four in 10 take longer showers than needed, and nearly three in 10 use regular bulbs when replacing lights, rather than more energy-efficient LEDs.
