In a speech on consumerism and behaviour change today David Cameron said:
"In terms of sustainable consumption, I believe transparency can have a similar effect in both the private and public sectors. In the public sector, Conservative-controlled Windsor and Maidenhead Council are showing the way. They are publishing online, in real time, the energy consumption of each of their main council buildings – and setting that against their targets for energy usage. That way, local taxpayers can hold the council to account for failing to meet its own targets. This innovation has already led to a fifteen per cent reduction in energy consumption. That’s what is happening in Windsor – imagine if we extended it to every public building in the country?"
