Millions of people across the UK are wasting hundreds of pounds a year without even leaving home. Most of us are guilty of running our households inefficiently – throwing away rubbish rather than recycling, and needlessly wasting water, gas and electricity on every day tasks.

Eco–expert PENNEY POYZER is here to change that. She’s about to shock the nation into doing more for the environment, uncovering wastefulness and giving viewers the ‘eco’ know-how to change their ways.  She’ll even save them money in the process, proving that helping the environment doesn’t have to lighten your pocket.

Each week Penney meets one of Britain’s most environmentally unfriendly and wasteful households.  She’ll set the households radical new rules and rations to live by, designed to curb their energy-guzzling ways and put money back in their pockets. At the end of the two weeks, she’ll return to see how they’ve coped and reveal just how much they’ve saved living the No Waste Like Home lifestyle.
