With Energy Saving Day being unsuccessful earlier this year, plans could be in the pipeline for another.

‘E-day’, organised by Dr Matt Prescott, took place during 27-28th February and aimed to encourage people to switch off electrical equipment and be resourceful for the 24hour period. Unfortunately this was unsuccessful despite the large amount of organisation and backing of the national grid and major energy companies.

However, a possible new Energy Saving Day has been hinted for the future. Dr Matt Prescott said: “I am trying to work out what I would like to do with a second E-Day and to raise some core funding so that I don’t end up self-financing things again.”

“It has taken a long time for me to recover from E-Day both financially and energy-wise but I hope to be in a position to develop new ideas and projects before too much longer.”

As well as his work on Energy Saving Day, Dr Matt Prescott also frequently contributes to the BBC’s online ‘Green Room’ where he gives his views on important environmental issues.
