Penney Poyzer is a TV star and an eco-expert. Her hit show There’s No Waste Like Home (on BBC2) got 3 million viewers. Who can forget the faces of energy-guzzling contestants being first shown how to save energy around their homes and – if successful at changing their wasteful habits – be given wads of crisp cash.

The book of the series, There’s No Waste Like Home, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Waste-Like-Home-Penney-Poyzer/dp/0753510278 showed how easy it is to stop yourself wasting as much as #4,000 a year. She shows how you can cut back on water, gas and electricity bills and finds cash and planet saving tips to stop you wasting food or fossil fuels as you drive.

Penney, 48, is a great speaker. She’s funny and informative. She is just finishing writing her latest book which is about having a really green life.

Come and hear what she says because she really does know a lot about tackling climate change. “I'm really looking forward to coming back to the increasingly green streets of 'The Izzle' - as one of my mate’s calls it! Getting to grips with the big green issues is so much easier when we tackle them together. Whatever walk of life we follow, whatever creed we believe in, we have this lovely planet in common. Time is our most precious non-renewable resource so let’s not waste a second."

Penney lives in Nottingham in a Victorian semi that she’s made really energy-efficient with her husband Gil Schalom, who is a green architect.
