01/03/10 - Campaign for sustainable future hits Urmston - Alex Williams hands free low energy light bulbs to shoppers



Alex Williams teamed up with Urmston Councillor, James Wibberley, this weekend to offer Urmston shoppers low energy light bulbs and intelligent power management sockets in a bid to keep energy costs down and help the environment.
 
Campaigning at a stall outside Sainsbury's in Urmston and working in conjunction with the 'Trafford is my planet' campaign, Alex and James also discussed ways that local people can make their homes more energy efficient.
 
Prospective MP for Stretford and Urmston, Alex said:
 
"In our neighbourhoods and in our homes, what seem like small changes in behaviour will actually make a huge difference. Every time we boil a kettle, leave a TV on standby or drive a car, we use energy. The more we use, the more greenhouse gases we create and the more it costs us in higher utility bills.''
 
"Carbon emissions are falling in Trafford faster than most other areas of Greater Manchester, proving the borough really is becoming cleaner and greener. Residents in Stretford and Urmston already recycle more than elsewhere in Greater Manchester.''
 
"By taking small steps to change our behaviour at home, we can all make even more of a difference. I positively encourage local policies of preservation and the use of green or renewable energy.''
