Question: Are you eco-friendly when it comes to computers and tv's ect?

I work with special new materials for solar panels so I know about how important is it to try and be ‘green’ when it comes to electricity. The materials we are developing are actually super cool, and will mean we can print big sheets of solar panels on plastics and wrap them around our houses or roll them out across the desert. Because we haven’t finished working on them yet, we use horrible solar panels now that are heavy and ugly and solid. We can’t roll them out anywhere.
At home I always make sure everything is turned off when I go to bed and I’m really careful to turn lights off when I leave a room. I cycle everywhere in London so I don’t drive or take tubes. I also try not to fly very much, other than if it is outside of Europe.
I hope you are careful too!
