  efficient technologies

  • Insulating older houses
  • Replacing old inneficient electrical devices
  • Scrapping older and inefficient cars
• Education

  • Benefits of new technologies should be communicated
  • Energy efficiency ratings should be on new electrical products so they can be compared with older ones.
  • Promotion of new ways of thinking
• Laws passed by the government to make changes

  rapidly:

  • Stricter Building regulations to ensure buildings are built energy efficiently
  • Preventing sales of old, innefficient electrical devices
• ‘Scrappage’ schemes:

  • Removal of old innefficient machines from use
