Yesterday I was called upon to do my bit by visiting homes in Lyttelton and inviting home-owners to complete an energy questionnaire. After 2 hours I returned with just 2 completed questionnaires, 2 rejections and many unanswered doors. I have learnt that the role of the “cold caller” is not an easy one and there is a narrow window of opportunity between people getting home and sitting down to their dinner.

So please be kind to the volunteers who come knocking on your door.
