In most homes, lighting accounts for 10-15% of the electricity bill which contributes to the UK’s £1.2 billion spend per year on electricity for lightning in the home. An area three times the size of the Isle of Wight would need to be planted with Sitca spruce to absorb the carbon resulting from the annual UK use of domestic electric lights and appliances.

There are several solutions to reducing this high level of electricity consumption such as natural lighting, energy saving light bulbs and low energy lamps.
