When John Thurso MP visited ATTG in February, he drew out the winner from the responses to our survey that was distributed in November. Congratulations to Liam Miller from Coulpark, who wins four low-energy lightbulbs, a standby saver and a power monkey – a portable solar charger for mobile phones and mp3 players. All of these energy-saving gadgets will reduce Liam’s annual electricity bill by as much as £40 and save the same amount of CO2 as would be emitted by a return car journey from Alness to Stranraer.
