Many Brits who may be trying to cut costs to keep up with their home insurance or loan payments are going greener, it has been revealed.
Research conducted by cahoot has shown that 72 per cent of people are trying to cut energy bills by turning off electrical items such as TVs and computers.
Around 60 per cent of Brits are changing to energy efficient light bulbs while 58 per cent are turning down the heating and 43 per cent are having showers instead of baths – all things which can help the environment.
Matthew Timms from cahoot said: "The credit crunch has put money saving at the front of everyone's minds. So it's great to see that the simple sacrifices people are making are at least helping us to live greener as a result."
Because of the credit crunch, many couples are planning to eat in rather than go for an expensive restaurant meal this Valentine's Day, research from Abbey recently revealed.
