At Home

Simple, cost saving ways to make your house energy efficient.

Put aside a day, a weekend or have a think about what you can do each and every day...

One Day

Change your lightbulbs to energy efficient - they cost 99p and save you loads in the long-term
Get a timer for your boiler - so you only heat when you need
Turn the clock off your microwave - it uses 45,000 watts per year
Get rechargeable batteries - Save a load of cash and help look after the environment

Get a composter, bokashi or some worms - use your old potato peelings to help the pot plants!

Save water - reduce your toilet flush, watch for dripping taps, use the minimum required

A weekend (well maybe a bit more for some...)

Insulate your house - don't lose 40% of your hard earned heat, if nothing else, get a draft excluder!

New boiler - think about upgrading to an energy efficient model
Renewable Energy - think about solar or wind power for your home (you may be grant eligible)

Green your ride - Think about what car you drive... or better still think about getting a bike

Anytime

Buy environmentally friendly cleaning products - washing balls, bicarbonate of soda etc

Turn down the heating - Turn down the heating by 1 degree - cut your bills by 10%.
Unplug appliances and switch things off standby - takes no time but saves money.
Buying Local Food - Get a box scheme or down to the local market and save some pennies!
Recycle - so so so easy. Just put the recycling out on the recycling day.
Make your own / grow your own - take control with a bit of DIY
