Reminder for the cold days ahead! ❄️

Turning down the thermostat by just 1 °C could save 7% of the energy used for heating.

For every degree you lower the heating, more than €70 can be cut from your annual energy bill.

Cutting #methane slows down global warming, but it is also highly cost-effective, as the methane that is no longer leaked becomes marketable and can recover the investment cost to #ReduceMethane 👍.
