European energy company, Vattenfall, has devised a solution which may also suit Australians facing spiralling electricity bills. The company suggests a community-based social network in which participants receive a discount on their energy bills when checking in to neighbours’ homes for dinner.
Luong Lu , is a ‘creative and food enjoyer’ and the instigator of the proposal. She said that research indicates that the trend towards more people living alone means that there are more single households now than ever. Vattenfall’s solution is Neighbourhood Dining – a social network where people can access their account on Vattenfall’s website.
When guests sign in to Foursquare when attending the dinner, a discount to their energy bill is automatically assigned.
