About this site

Launched in January 2007 by Ross Lammas, a new media producer and Issi Lammas, a former countryside Policy Officer, sust-it.net was the first electricals energy efficiency website to be developed. The inspiration for the site grew out of a frustration at the lack of information available and a belief that more could be done to tackle energy wastage. With rising energy costs and a growing interest in climate change there is a real need for easily understandable information on energy and water consumption, and sust-it delivers it.

Energy labelling on white goods may be expected, but, people are surprised and shocked on seeing energy usage presented in financial terms and on learning about the varying energy consumption and running costs of brown goods - particularly TV's. What's the point of buying a TV that could cost you twice as much a year to run than another that works just as well? We see acting in an environmentally sustainable way as simple: Don't waste energy and you don't waste money. We hope the sust-it site helps you make more informed purchasing decisions. If our website helps you save energy and money in one go, we're happy CO2 is reduced.
