How to save #business #energy - hotel installs bicycle-powered television

An eco-friendly hotel in the New Forest, England, has come up with its novel energy-saving initiative, a bicycle-powered television.

Guests in the 'Standing Hat' room at Cottage Lodge in the village of Brockenhurst, can now keep fit, watch their favourite programmes, and do their bit for the environment using the innovative device.

The room also features low-energy lighting, solar panels and a wood-burning stove to produce hot water, and a low-flow toilet and shower to reduce water use.

The hotels publicity also boasts that environmentally-friends paints and low-impact building materials were used throughout, while the room's bed, bedside table, dressing table, wardrobe and mirror were crafted by a local tree surgeon from a single beech tree which fell in the village.
