Low Carbon: Flint lifeboat station monitors energy
FLINT lifeboat station is doing its bit for the environment, with the installation of an energy monitor.
The monitor, one of more than 200 distributed to Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) stations across the UK and Ireland, was donated by company Current Cost and will help staff to identify where energy is being wasted.
Jo Jones, environmental manager at the RNLI, said: "The RNLI is working towards balancing its lifesaving work with its environmental responsibility.
"The added benefit to this is the RNLI can potentially save money in the process, which is a huge incentive.
"Our aim is to change habits towards energy use across the charity to reduce consumption."
The monitors will show how much electricity is being used in the station at any one moment.
Martin Dix, founder and director of Current Cost, said: "I am immensely pleased that we can support the RNLI using our energy monitor.
"It's a device that will continually help them to save money, and of course reduce their environmental impact."
Envi energy monitors from Current Cost are available from www.currentcost.com priced at £39.95.
