British Gas has launched a £1 billion energy saving campaign to help UK households reduce their energy waste.
Such a saving would have the environmental equivalent of planting a forest 13 times the size of London, according to British Gas.
The launch follows the company's Energy Savers Report, which revealed that around two thirds of British households would fail an energy efficiency test.
Lois Hedg-peth, British Gas energy director, said: "One in every three pounds spent on energy in the UK is wasted through poor energy efficiency. Energy waste is a global issue but if we all do our bit to reduce waste then we can permanently cut our energy bills and help to save the environment.
"Our aim is to reduce one billion pounds worth of energy waste but if everyone made a few small changes then we could save a lot more. A few simple steps can make a big difference."
