(www.woolovers.com), the wool and knitwear manufacturer and retailer based in Haywards Heath, is today highlighting the environmental benefits of wearing wool. As Secretary of State for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform John Hutton, reveals the likely increase in the cost of electricity by 2020, when Britain’s energy is provided by wind farms, Wool Overs stress the importance of wearing suitable clothing in colder weather, particularly woollen garments.
Mark Shenton, Managing Director of Wool Overs Limited today issued the following statement:
“Wearing woollen jumpers or garments like lambswool sweaters is more than just being fashionable. Wool provides natural insulation and, by simply popping on a real wool jumper or cardigan, you can turn your heating down a degree or two. If everyone were to wear pure woollen clothes, the
effect on CO2 emissions would be substantial.
