If you turn me down I can help our planet, tackle climate change and save money … have you guessed? ... I’m a room therm

Thanks to scientists, inventors, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs … take a look around your home and stand in awe at the machines that have revolutionised life in the home!  From washing machines to dishwashers, kettles to microwave ovens, tumble dryers to hair dryers – how would life be different without them?
