A sopping globe of melting ice will mark World Environment Day at EDF Energy’s Gadeon House office in Exeter, on Tuesday.
The company will honour the day with a bunch of activities at various sites around the country, including Exeter and Plymouth, reflecting this year’s Melting Ice - A Hot Topic? theme.
At the Eden Project’s climate change summit last month, EDF Energy pledged to reduce its carbon emissions from its own energy use by 30 per cent and from its own transport use by 20 per cent by 2012.
Which is why the company will also be announcing its own Climate Commitments on Tuesday, outlining how the company will further reduce its own environmental impact and help customers lower their energy consumption.
EDF Energy customers can call a free energy efficiency advice line on 0800 096 9966 should they so wish. Lucky them.

Contestants of the Apprentice-style Nigel Green Recruit show gird yourselves, your whole life will be turned upside down in the competition (it’s not a game) to win the job as… wait for it… an estate agent!
Like duh, it doesn’t take a genius to spot the difference between an Alan Sugar-type entrepreneur, and errr… an estate agent. Self-obsessed, hubris soaked, money grabbing, that’s just reality tv contestants - never mind estate agents. We have no idea of what Mr Green is like himself, although we’re guessing he’s got a detached, or at least semi-detached, ego (oh, and he drives an expensive car).
The candidates will be put through a series of tasks - filling in a form quickly and telling a joke whittled them down the the final dozen.
The whole thing will be filmed, put on the radio and included in that sometime napkin of news for Torbay, the Herald Express (it mops everything up).
To catch more of the journey of sacrifce and self-realisation and cribbed notes from Mssrs Sugar and Trump, check in to Nigel Green Recruit.
