In The News: We're Dreaming Of A Green Christmas

A report from the Energy Saving Trust reports then more than a third of Brits will be buying environmentally Christmas gifts this year. A quarter also said that they would ONLY buy eco-friendly Christmas presents!

Now when you think that 45 per cent of people who plan to buy electronic goods will spend over £250 it looks like the green market could be as big as ever this Christmas.

Now one thing that really annoys me are the people that festoon their homes with Christmas lights, however 18% said they would be happy to get rid of them in a bid to save energy. I would say that's got more to do with the increase in energy costs rather than any environmental concerns.
