    If im the last out of the office, which happens often enough i go rounthe building quickly knocking off lights, fans, kitchen appliances that are normally left on overnight. Amazing the amount of people dont turn simple things off like lights and even monitors right in front of them. Also, theres someone who tirns the volume on the radio down instead of knocking it off. Wtf?

    Dublin tickets if possible, thanks

    I pledge to buy only locally produced foods that could save huge amounts of air and sea miles that would otherwise be needed to transport imported produce from other countries, therefore saving lots of energy :)

    I would love to get tickets for the Meath Kildare game on sunday!

    As a father of 3 daughters who are costantly reveiwing all the energy saving tips in the media I pledge to continue to be harassed by them. The latest idea being to use the old kettle on the gas hob rather than the electric one.

    I pledge to make the bath obselete in ny house and only allow showers. I will turn off all the light when I leave every room. I will cycle/walk any short trips instead of driving. I will drive more environmentally by not using harsh accelaration or braking. I will carpool or use public transport whenever I can. I will plug everyhing out at night and use my acoustic guitar instead of turning on the amp and using the electric. :p

    I'd love tickets to either day really as I am a blow in from Dublin now living in Roscommon nut I suppose if I had to pick a day to go I'd say saturday.

    Thanks and fair play for the competition.
