Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes) joins Warm Homes campaign

It’s no fun spending time in a cold home. No one should have to put up with a freezing rented home. The 31-year old English-Pakistani award-winning solo artist Bat for Lashes (pseudonym of Natasha Khan) is backing Friends of the Earth’s Warm Homes campaign to stop draughty houses making people ill and worsening climate change. She has spoken out about living in a cold, slug-infested student house as part of Friends of the Earth’s new Warm Homes campaign, launched today.

She said:

“We suffered the worst mould you could imagine in my student house. Over our 2 year let, it got to the point where you’d have to dodge at least 20 slugs living off moisture in the carpet to reach the bathroom – then inhale black mould spores if the steam from the shower got too much. The cold, draughts and dampness were pretty extreme! Everyone should get behind Friends of the Earth’s campaign to protect tenants in cold houses – it’s time to heat our homes, not the planet.”
