The Energy Saving Trust has published a guide showing how people can reduce their carbon emissions by 3 per cent a year and help to prevent climate change.

Things they recommend people do to reduce their carbon emissions are:

• Turning heating down by 1 degree Celsius
• Avoiding leaving appliances such as TVs on standby
• Washing their clothes at 30 degrees Celsius
• Switching off lights in rooms that are not occupied
• Installing 100mm of insulation in lofts
• Insulating external solid and cavity walls
• Installing double or secondary glazing in windows and doors
• Install energy efficient lightbulbs
• Replacing inefficient boilers
• Buy energy efficient electrical equipment
• Reduce car journeys and drive in energy efficient ways
• Avoid wasting food
