Poll: Have you tried to reduce your energy usage?

Are you energy conscious? If so, why?

NEW STATISTICS HAVE revealed that energy usage in Ireland has dropped by 12 per cent in just three years.

The study did not examine the reasons for the decline but Europe has seen consumption drop since the financial crisis took hold in 2008. There is also greater evidence of awareness around environmental and sustainable issues.

In today’s poll, we’d like to find out if your pattern of energy use has changed – and why.

Have you tried to reduce your energy usage?


Poll Results:

Yes, mostly for cost reasons (1408)
No (1200)
Yes, mostly for environmental reasons (296)
