Sometimes it is not only about saving money, but also about doing something good for the environment: and isn't it great if you can do both things at the same time? Today is the day to start being environmentally friendly and being on a budget! Be part of the "Warme Truiendag" - you might wonder what this means... It is the Warm Pullover Day. Of course with these temperatures every day is a Warm Pullover Day, but today we put on our cosiest sweaters to save energy.

Today, all over the country everyone sets their thermostat a degree lower to remind us of the day the Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 16 February 2005. In this protocol various countries promised to reduce greenhouse gases.

The good thing is by using less energy for heating not only you reduce greenhouse gases, but also you save a lot of money. According to the Vereniging Klimaatverbond Nederland (Dutch Climate Association) you save 7% energy by setting your thermostat only one degree lower.

So, put on your warmest sweater for a good cause and join the example of Tilburg University and other institutions and companies!
