BIOROCK sewage treatment plants - VAT Reduction for energy saving products?


The Biorock sewage treatment plant is the first non-electric sewage system in the UK. It saves around 0.55 tonnes of CO2 emmissions every year from a family home, or over 1000Kw of electricity. Please visit http://www.wte-ltd.co.uk/ .
The Government gives enormous 'lip service' to reducing our carbon footprint, but does very little about it.
To tackle fuel poverty and reduce energy consumption, we believe that energy saving products and materials should be charged a reduced VAT rate of 5 percent for any product that results in an improvement to the energy efficiency of our homes.
We would like to hear your opinions in order to lobby for these changes.
