The Energy Saving Trust reports that more than a third of Brits who plan to buy electronic goods (36%) this Christmas say they will buy the most energy-efficient models, while a quarter will choose only energy-efficient gifts.
More than half of Brits who plan to buy electrical goods as Christmas presents would also be prepared to make sure all electrical goods are unplugged or not on standby during the Christmas period, to make their festive celebrations even more environmentally friendly.
But, only 18% would be happy to ditch the Christmas lights on the outside of their home in a bid to save energy.
The release of this new research coincides with the launch of the Energy Saving Trust's 3000th Energy Saving Recommended product, which will be on the shelves in time for Christmas.
