Dawn Meats is committed to reducing energy consumption. The following are some tips on what we can do to make a difference...

• A fridge door left open for 30 minutes a day wastes enough energy in a year to power a lighthouse for nearly 4 days. Close it and you’ll make all the difference
• A computer left on overnight for a year creates enough CO2 to fill a double-decker bus. Switch it off and you’ll make all the difference.
• A 2°C increase in office temperature creates enough CO2 in a year to fill a hot air balloon. Reduce it and you’ll make all the difference
• Office lights left on overnight use enough energy in a year to heat a home for almost 5 months. Switch them off and you’ll make all the difference
• A photocopier left on standby overnight wastes enough energy to make 30 cups of tea. Switch it off and you’ll make all the difference
