It is a fact that 30,000 pensioners in UK die each winter from cold related illnesses, which is an incredible 8 deaths every hour during the month of December to March.
Do you know that if you spent 10% or more of your income on electricity bills, you are in the fuel poverty bracket.
What can we do about this outrageous situation!
UK 8020 is challenging individual or group to invent a green Renewable Energy Generator (REG) that will produce at least 90% of average household electricity free. The key objective of the challenge is that the winning REG must retail and installed for £500 – currently the average cost of 6 months domestic energy.
Pledge4Reg is a humanitarian initiative which helps to eradicate the problem of fuel poverty. It works simply by inviting you to pledge £500 to buy a REG for anyone of your choice. It could for your parents, an elderly relative, a friend, anyone who you feel need a helping hand or even for yourself.
Pledge4Reg endeavours to ensure that never again will we see another image in the media of a senior citizen wrapping themselves up in black bin plastic liners and being forced to sell their life long possessions just to keep warm.
Pledge4Reg empowers you to help yourself or anyone else to get out of fuel poverty. Your pledges would be an encouragement to the inventive spirit of an individual or group to design the REG and a catalyst in finding a solution to the climate change crisis.
Save someone’s life, save the planet, end fuel poverty. Pledge4Reg now!
Make your Pledge here today.
