 The associated Twitter account, active from 2010 to 2018, peaked at 185,000 followers with a monthly reach of 8 million users worldwide all through organic growth and received acclaim from Opta Sports, Chelsea FC, BBC and other businesses. The account was closed due to Twiiter's new ownership, whilst noting football statistics had become more mainstream and access to data had become less readily available.

+## Energy
+
+- 10 Solar Panels and a 5kw battery helps reduce reliance on the grid
+- Energy provider uses green energy.
+- 95% of home uses smart energy efficient lighting. Remaining is due to be addressed in 2025
+
+## Transport
+
+- Own an EV (as a gift to my spouse) but have never been learned to drive so all commuting has been via public transport.
+
+## Recycling
+
+- Actively seek to recycle waste products. As a household we rarely fill the refuse waste, but do fill the recycling boxes for card, glass, and foil and plastics.
+- We also recycle coffee pods and contact lenses and give plenty to charity as well as shop there often.
+
+ ## Garden
+
+ - The small garden is allowed to grow in spring and we delay the first cut of the lawn to allow for pollinators to benefit.
+ - An area of the garden is set up for wild flowers.
+ - We have grown a mixture of fruit and vegetables including apples, blackberries, rhubarb, strawberries, potatoes, carrots, parsnips and radishes.
