Families across the UK are facing a period of serious financial strain with the cost of living crisis and energy bills soaring to worrying levels. With as many as six million families facing paying an extra £320 to warm their poorly insulated homes, are there any solutions in sight?
Well, according to Angela Terry, environmental scientist and founder of climate action website One Home, there are. She says: “Outside it may be balmy spring. But acting now, in good time, will help save you ahead of the next energy bill hike expected in the autumn.”
With today (Friday, April 22) being Earth Day, supporters of the day say that there are ways you can save money on energy bills - and save the planet. Friends of the Earth say free loft and wall insulation, starting in areas of high fuel poverty, would benefit eight million households, as reported by The Mirror.
