If you're planning to replace any of your old kitchen appliances, it might be worth taking a look at the growing range of energy saving models on the market.

Energy saving appliances not only emit fewer greenhouse gases making them much more environmentally friendly, they also use less power and are cheaper to run. Buying an energy saving fridge freezer for example could substantially cut your carbon dioxide emissions and save you on average £35 a year. Energy saving washing machines, dishwashers and tumble driers all use a third less energy than old, inefficient models and cut water consumption considerably, saving you money and helping you do your bit for the environment.
