Depends on your diet. :)

If you don't like buying Chinese goods, this site could be of interest: https://chinanever.com/categories/he...-made-in-china

Targeted at America no doubt, but still relevant here. They have many categories of products.

not a lot of alternatives for mobile phones then

This is crazy!! Government decisions have put us in a situation where we are held to ransom by foreign fuel suppliers.

We still have North Sea gas and oil, but that's not enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_an...United_Kingdom

Why has there not been enough investment in renewables? There is still a significant shortfall!

Around 30% to 40% of our energy needs rely on imports.

most of scotlands electricity is from renewables i believe. not that it'll help

When I switched tariffs, I paid extra to be on 100% renewable energy, so there should be no reason why mine will go up, but it will, of course, it’s all smoke, mirrors and marketing BS...

yup i was on 100% renew too via bulb, who are now in special admin. ive just upped my payments a bit again, even though ive about 300 in credit with them at moment. im currently working out what i can do without power wise. fortunately i dont use a lot of power charging car up(about once a week and only a part charge), but i dont have a low rate for it. I will empty the older of the feezers asap and go down to 1 again for a start.

I don't have anything I can cut down on. Don't use any gas at all anyway and leccy use is on the bare minimum.

I suppose at least with us coming into summer I won't need the heater for a while.

My partner finds the cold easily (she's African), so the heating in our house is set at 23C. This is an obvious energy saving we could make: turn down the thermostat and just wear more layers of clothing. All the light bulbs are the low energy LED types, so no saving there.

Five items of my audio gear are left in standby mode, as is the TV; not much I can do there - and I don't use Class A power amplifiers these days.

im reducing heating too a degree during day and half at night. as said summer wont be long.

Me and Mrs. Pony have started bath-sharing. When we are both in it we only need a half a kettle to fill up the bath :) Not sure how long the floor under the bath will cope, good thing we live in a bungalow :)
