Energy saving new years resolutions!
That’s a cracking idea lad! These 10 ideas are simple and could save you money as well as doing your bit for the environment!
Gromit’s 10 ideas:
- Reuse plastic bags as often as you can. Keeping a store of them so that you never run out.
- Turn your thermostat down and wear an extra layer to compensate.
- Turn of those lights. If you or family members are forgetful maybe a small sticker on the switch can act as a reminder.
- Get a water displacement device in your toilet cistern such as a Save-a-Flush Frog or Hippo to help conserve water when you flush.
- Buying food locally is a sustainable way to shop and reduces your carbon footprint.
- Always recycle whether at work or at home.
- Instead of driving to work could you cycle, get the bus or perhaps car share with a colleague.
- Put a lid on it! When cooking on the stove put a lid on your pan to keep the heat in and reduce the time spent with the heat on.
- What about starting a vegetable patch, growing your own food is cheap and rewarding.
- Whilst you’re in the garden why not set up a compost heap. There ideal for disposing organic waste in an environmentally friendly way.
If you are already doing this then keep up the great work!
