Energy Saving: Why Chocolate Is Not Always Nice

Ok, so I’m going to give you a flavour of things to come in the future here in the blog. This is an introductory post to indicate what you can expect from some of the posts that we will publishing here in the advice blog. I hope the title of this post grabbed your attention, Garlic Flavoured Chocolate, its the kind of thing that we will be doing to get your attention – and hopefully save you some money in the process.

I’m not trying to typecast the flavour of our advice blog before I start, but just let you see a snippet of some of the help we’ll give you that is sometimes:

Practical
Off The Wall
Free Easy to Achieve Savings
Savings Requiring Small Investment (quick return)
Savings Requiring Small Investment (long return)
Savings Requiring Modest/Larger Investment

Now without labouring over each item above, because I want to get to the meat of this post, I’ll give you a one-breath definition of each:

Practical - All the advice we give will be practical, it’s what you potentially choose to do with it that may make it impractical.

Off The Wall – Think Outside the Box, these will be posts about every day ‘waste’ that you can save by avoiding the needless waste of anything that consumes power, fuel, electric or gas.

Free Easy to Achieve Savings – Some topics will require no investment for you to achieve a saving, we may not always be able to quantify the savings but rest assured a saving will be achievable.

Savings Requiring Small Investment (quick return) – A saving that may require you to spend a few quid to achieve it (a good example would be energy saving light bulbs..)

Savings Requiring Small Investment (long return) – A saving that, again, may require you to spend a few quid to achieve the saving, but these are savings you will typically make if you are the “earth friendly” type, and I say that with the greatest of respect – because I am personally in this group, they will ’save the earth’ before they ’save you the earth’

Savings Requiring Modest/Larger Investment – These are savings that can achieve from investments that you only plan once in a while – like a new boiler, or a new tumble dryer or something akin to that. Other headings in this group will be such as solar, wind and renewable energy, heat pumps etc. Much larger investments but bringing much larger savings.

All things to all people

This is certainly not what we intend to be, or are trying to be, I can say here and now that on some topics, better advice may exist out there somewhere in internetland. On others we may be first to the batting crease, we are not innovating in this blog, we are communicating, which means that we will be taking available information and jigging it so that it is understandable for everyone.

One thing I see all the time is people trying to portray themselves as “6th Dann Nuclear Fissionists” Professors, trying to be clever clogs and baffling anyone who everyone who they talk to. If you want your advice to be easy to read, easy to understand, and above all, easy to remember then here is where it is – after all if you ate Garlic Flavoured Chocolate you’d remember that, wouldn’t you?
