Hello and Welcome

When I was at college, many moons ago, we were all aware of global warming, the Greenhouse Effect and the damage that we were all doing to the planet. Since then, precious little has been done. I include myself in this list of "just too busy to be bothered to dye my hand knitted socks with the juice of an onion" brigade - but at long last I have decided to stand up and be counted.I am determined to be greener and to save little bits of my planet, but I refuse to pay through the nose for the privilege. So my quest - and yes, I have chosen to accept it - will be to be greener but save money at the same time.

5 Things to Do with 15 Minutes to Spare






Here are some super-quick things anyone can do to save cash, help the environment and make life easier in the long run.


  1. Gather all your household bills and arrange to pay them online - it saves on paperwork, as well as the need to remember to pay them on time. Plus it saves quite a few trees, especially if you sign up for paperless billing as well.

  2. Cast an eye over your book collection to see if you could sell any through http://www.amazon.co.uk/. Make some money and recycle paper at the same time

  3. Choose any less-than-fresh fruit in the fruit bowl and whizz them together in a liquidiser to make a smoothie that can be kept in the fridge. Saves waste and check out the cost of a pre-packaged smoothie!!

  4. Replace a broken light bulb with an energy efficient one - you all know why

  5. Put 10 things in a pile for either the charity shop, jumble sale or car boot sale. Make money or help others to make money.
