What is energyrethinking?
energyrethinking aims to inspire and encourage everyone to use energy more wisely and save money at the same time. We think that energy saving is about more than flicking switches and changing light bulbs. We have a lot of good ideas to share – from industry, academia, government and non-governmental organisations.
We think you have good ideas too. So we hope you’ll join us to discover new and practical ways of rethinking our energy habits – at home, out and about or in the workplace.
Founded in 2010, energyrethinking is funded by Shell and managed by a consortium of partners including: Energy Saving Trust, Michelin, the Institute of Directors and Tomorrow’s Company. It is edited by journalist Ferne Arfin.
