Switch On Switch Off - Energy and Environmental Awareness Campaign
October 2011 A new year starts

Constantly rising prices are not easily counteracted by being just a little more efficient. In order to even pay the same as last year, we need to cut our power consumption drastically.

Campaign newsletter
Newsletter No. 6 (PDF 6.5MB) is out now in time for Christmas and is available to download.
As well as having the usual book review and myth buster, there's also the "Spot the Shot" photo competition. The prize available to win in this edition is a Fairtrade hamper which has been kindly donated by the Midlands Co-operative.
The Midlands Co-operative is democratically owned and controlled by its members. The committee implements a strategy across Derby and Derbyshire to improve member participation, co-operative enterprise and co-operative education.
The winning entry will be pulled out of the "hat" on the 21 December 2011.
This special edition also has some festive tips and ideas on how to have a Green Christmas.
Previous competition winners have taken home bottles of wine from an English vineyard, a renewable charger for IPods, a solar powered/wind-up radio/torch, Eco torch, wind up torch and a water powered alarm clock and calendar.
