British Gas vs The Environment

I saw the latest advert from British Gas this evening telling me that they had reduced prices.

That is good news for the consumer.

However, the method that they chose to deliver this message was packaged in successive images showing people switching everything on, having an extra cuppa, and basically using much more electricity just because it was cheaper.

Oh dear, British Gas. FAIL.

Hadn’t you noticed that the media and the government are telling us that climate change is happening and the over use of fossil fuels is killing the planet? And here you come suggesting we burn more fuel (and screw the planet further) just because you shaved a few points off the cost of our power.

I won’t be switching for sure.
