Together’s ‘Sssave energy and money’ campaign

Stop the draughts with a snake and sssave energy and money

 

Do you remember a cuddly snake-like object sitting quietly by your grandparents' front door?  Well this loveable draught-stopping creature is making an heroic return to the nation's doorways as part of Together's new campaign to help everybody save energy and money at home. Everybody from Helen Baxendale to Jon Snow is making snakes!

 

Making a draught-excluding snake is fun way to get you and your family's creative juices flowing. But place your snake by the front door and that's where it really comes into its own. Stopping draughts is the first easy step you can take to insulating your home this winter and saving money.

 


To start you on your way Together have created some simple step by step snake-making instructions.

 

Register with Together and you'll have the chance to win a special snake prize:

  • 10 limited edition hand-made snakes designed by textile genius Donna Wilson
  • 1,000 Together Make-A-Snake kits

 

£1 in every £4 spent on heating is wasted through poorly insulated roofs, door-frames and windows. Crazy isn't it?  Luckily once you've made your snake there are lots more easy and affordable steps you can take to stop the waste and help fight climate change. The biggest thing you can do is to ensure that you have the correct amount of insulation (27 cm) in your loft. It could save you up to £155 off your annual heating bills!

 

With ssseriously good offers from Together partners B&Q, British Gas and Tesco, installing loft insulation can even pay for itself in under a year. 

Together is a charity campaign that works to make it easier and cheaper for everybody to fight climate change - for more easy ways to save energy and money visit Together.com

Closing date Friday 21st November October 2008. Winners will be picked at random from all those who have registered their emails at www.together.com/snakes
