“We are staying the course”
I've been here for nearly 16 years 😮
I've learned, been inspired, and made interesting connections
I've managed accounts and run campaigns
I've shared valuable and less valuable news
But I don't want to be here anymore
I'll be over here if you want to follow me...

#EnergyEfficiency means using less energy to perform the same tasks.
The EU #EnergyLabel can guide you towards electric products that provide the same result, but produce less emissions and allow you to save on your energy bill ⚡️💶

Reminder for the cold days ahead! ❄️
Turning down the thermostat by just 1 °C could save 7% of the energy used for heating.
For every degree you lower the heating, more than €70 can be cut from your annual energy bill.

Wind and solar saved the EU €59 BILLION in fossil fuel imports over the last five years 💶
Without the new 🌪️ and ☀️ added since 2019, the EU would have needed to burn an extra 92 billion cubic metres of fossil gas and 55 million tonnes of coal.
