We are pleased to announce that Keep Britain Tidy has joined the Energy Bill Revolution alliance, for warm homes and lower bills.
The Energy Bill Revolution is calling on the Government to use the money it gets from carbon taxes to make our homes super-energy efficient. This is the only permanent way to drive down energy bills and end fuel poverty.
From next year the Government will be collecting over £2 billion in carbon tax every year, rising to £4 billion by 2020 and £7 billion by 2027. Recycled back into energy efficiency programmes, this would be enough to super-insulate more than 600,000 homes a year, bringing 9 out of 10 homes out of fuel poverty. It could also quadruple carbon emission savings from households compared to the government’s new energy efficiency policies and create up to 200,000 more jobs – exactly what we need to support the UK’s economic recovery.
Tim Burns from Keep Britain Tidy’s WasteWatch programme said:
‘Keep Britain Tidy is the environmental charity and the anti-litter campaign for England. We also run the International Eco-Schools programmes in England that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a simple framework to help make good environmental practice an integral part of school life and beyond in the community. Keep Britain Tidy supports the Energy Bill Revolution to enable people to waste less and live more.’
