Let's make #EarthDayAtHome count by tracking UK activities under lockdown with ECI, Univ of Oxford OxfordSparks University of Oxford Oxford Energy JoyMeter.uk

Thanks to all who help track the impact of the lockdown with JoyMeter.uk. Here some early findings.

'Efforts to promote flexibility in the energy sector need to look beyond [..] price, technology, and DSM narrowly defined, and instead focus on the social rhythms and the timing of what people do'. eprints.lancs.ac.uk/id/eprint/1431… Stanley Blue Elizabeth Shove @PeterJForman1 @CREDS_UK

Data from the Energy Use UK shows that days in lockdown start on average half hour later: more gardening, more time in front of a screen (arguably because of #workingfromhome for adults as well as #homelearning for children), consuming more hot drinks and do not reading more.
