Recommended Reading Plus 10 more Tips

There’s a really good book that has been produced by the Friends of the Earth which is called “Save Cash and Save the Planet”

Top tips featured in the book include:

• 
  -Fit energy saving light bulbs around the house and save yourself £7 a year or £65 over their lifetime. Switch to a green energy tariff and do the planet a bigger favour
  -Eat less meat – meat is expensive and meat farming is resource intensive and a major source of pollution
  -Insulate your home – draft insulation makes your home warmer and also saves money, while insulating your roof will save up to £180 a year
  -Use lemon juice and white vinegar to clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces – and leave the bottles of bathroom and kitchen cleaner on the supermarket shelf
  -Join a car club and save up to £3,470 a year on the cost of running a car. If you are buying a new car, chose a fuel efficient model – it could save you up to £900 a year
  -Learn how to drive fuel efficiently, so reducing the cost and the level of climate changing carbon dioxide emissions
  -Take the train and not the plane. Flying is the fastest growing source of carbon dioxide emissions and going by train can be cheaper and may even save time
  -Buy less – swap and share items like garden and diy equipment instead
  -Reduce your rubbish – and make your own compost.
  -Save water in the home – have a water butt in the garden and a hippo in the loo
  
  Good Book! I'm definitely going to try to implement quite a few of these ideas.
