Electricity Calculator????

[seasidematt]

Hi...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
This is a complete long shot but thought i might try and see if anyone on here knows of a website that i can link to...<o></o>
<o></o>
I have been asked to produce some posters and leaflets regarding our IT cost and look at ways of reducing our costing<o></o>
<o></o>
I have thought of and idea similar to the Carbon/Electricity posters that we see on a daily basis here in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:country-region><st1lace>UK</st1lace></st1:country-region>...<o></o>
<o></o>
I’m after some sort of calculator that if i put in a number say £2460.00 it will then say that’s equivalent of looking after 2 elephants for a week etc...<o></o>
<o></o>
I know it’s a complete long shot but do any of you guys know of a website out there that could help?<o></o>
<o></o>
Thanks in advance<o></o>
Matt<o></o>

Do people in Blackpool relate well to the cost of running an elephant???

Why not break it down into what it means per employee and potential benefits?

Like "at the current rate we can't afford this year's 3% raises..."

I've always found that if you can tie cost saving or sales issues directly to peoples' pay, they tend to pay a lot more attention.

Or keep track of monthly savings over an historical baseline and work with management to have that go into some type of bonus pool. If there's tangible benefit to people they'll start caring.

Have you had a chat with the Carbon Trust ? They may be able to advise you on better.

Their website is http://www.carbontrust.co.uk/

Interestingly, I paid for the girlfriend and her sister to go on holiday, last year, and it cost exactly £2460. So, your comparison is pretty good.
