Make the LEAP towards a greener lifestyle!

Tonnes of CO2 emissions could be cut as a result of pledges made to the Big Green Switch's Make the LEAP towards a greener lifestyle campaign.

Our campaign asked everyone to think of this year's leap day as an extra day in their lives and to pledge to put some time aside to do something green on the day. We've been inundated with pledges from all over the UK from people pledging to do everything from fitting low energy light bulbs and starting compost heaps to foil-backing their radiators and installing water butts.

Leap day pledges in action:
Your photos have come into us of you tackling your green activities. Our slideshow below shows a selection of leap day pledgers in action!

A colleague here in the office at Big Green Switch went one step further and videoed himself in action carrying out his leap day pledge! Watch Nic's video below on how to foil-back your radiators.
