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.

Green Money Saving -2

Here are a few more ideas on how to save a bit of money and do your bit for the environment. Here are a few to get you green in the kitchen…
There are lots of ways to reducing the amount of energy needed to cook, store, prepare and wash up after daily meals.
  • Keep fridges and freezers shut tightly and at the correct temperature.
  • Avoid heat loss in the oven by keeping the door closed until the food is ready.
  • Wash vegetables and fruit in a bowl rather than under a running tap.
  • Grow your own vegetables, or shop locally for them.
  • Turn your toaster setting down by one.
  • Unplug all appliances when not in use, or they will continue to use energy.
  • Turn food and garden waste into nutrient soil for flowers and plants using a home composting bin.
