Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

and another thing....
All around my workplace on practically every wall there are posters that inform my colleagues and me that leaving taps on costs the company £250 pounds a week, leaving unwanted lights on £2000 a year and so on. All very right and proper and nobody should be wasting natural resources just because they dont pay the bill directly.
HOWEVER, none of the posters mention how much would be saved if all the directors had "normal" company cars and not the "all state of the art" performace BMWS, Range Rovers etc.
