Welcome to the Power of Many

There are lots of ways to save energy. At Contact, we’re doing our bit by investing in renewable, climate-friendly electricity generation projects such as wind farms, and new geothermal power stations. We’ve also introduced a fleet of energy-efficient hybrid cars, and have a ‘Green Office’ programme designed to minimise our waste and promote energy efficiency.

But we reckon the best ideas are yet to come, and we think they could come from you. So we’ve started a competition called the Power of Many.

Share with us your stories or videos of the fun, creative ways you’re saving energy and you could win some fantastic prizes, including a Vespa scooter, a Burton snowboard, a Quiksilver surfboard, K2 skis and Icebreaker clothing, plus a Grand Prize of a $5000 Contact Home Energy Makeover. Click here to check out the prizes. To see the list of prize winners, click here.

Who knows? Your idea could help the whole planet win.

Get The Mix Right

Only open the shower mixer lever to half or three quarters. This (in most cases) is suffcient to shower with, but uses less HOT water to achieve the same temperature.
