FREE energy-saving lightbulbs

CAVS in partnership with SWALEC have secured 20,000 free energy saving lightbulbs for voluntary sector organisations.  Energy saving light bulbs last up to 12 times longer than ordinary lightbulbs and can save you £9 per year in electricity (and 38 kilograms of CO2) or £100 over the bulbs lifetime.

If everyone installed just one energy saving light bulb the CO2 emissions saved would fill 2 million double decker buses. 

Organisations wishing to have free light bulbs should contact Owen Jones by E-mailing him at Owen Jones stating how many lightbulbs you require.
