Celebrating 1/2 million tonnes CO2 and over £100 million saved so far

We’ve been working hard with our partners to make it easier and cheaper for you to reduce your impact on the climate. The millions of actions you’ve taken this year have saved a whopping £100million off household bills and helped reduce CO₂ emissions by ½ million tonnes – the same as taking 195,000 cars off the road!

It just goes to show how small, simple actions really do add up to big things. You might be surprised to learn how big the difference can be for your household – take a look at our new Saver’s Guide to see how much you could save.

To celebrate turning 1, we’ve made a very special film with the help of a few of the people that make Together what it is – watch it on this page. We’re also welcoming some big new partners to the campaign and launching lots of new easy ways to do your bit.
