The North Wind May Blow: So Save Coal, Gas and Electricity for the Very Coldest Weather

British Second World War poster highlighting the importance of using coal economically. This poster depicts a male red-breasted robin gripping onto a tree branch, whilst wrapped up in his little scarf. The text of the poster emphasises that coal and electricity should be reserved only for the coldest of days. By economising the use of resources such as coal, it meant less of a strain was placed upon tasks that traditionally would have put a drain on mechanisms through which machinery or essential war goods were produced.
