| Re: Every little bit helps
Well I'm trying to do my bit....
1. recycle glass and tins. cruch pop/beer cans first. I store them in a box that was designed to hold sunlounger cushions but it serves well as a recyling box.
2. I have a composter and compost kitchen waste and garden waste.
3. changed where possible to Ecover products.
4. Just had a new more efficent boiler.
5. bought an A rated for energy dishwasher and wash only when it's full. I think this would have slight advantages over washing up by hand after each meal.
6. Catch the rain water from the garage. When our loft conversions finished I'm going to try to collect some of the water from the house too.
I'm not an eco-warrior by any means, but I'm doing something...I'm sure we could all do more.
I'm a bit annoyed with Coventry City Council. I got my composter through Warwickshire council as my mum lives there, and it was cheap, like £15. So about a year later Coventry send us wheelie bins that we can put compostable waste in...so no use to me really....then about 2 months after that offer composters at £15. Now why not offer the choice of a wheelie bin for green waste or a composter????????? It stands ot reason that most stuff that can go in the wheelie bin can go in a composter. Are the people in charge complete idiots? I would have declined the green wheelie bin and they would save money. Also a lot mor epeople might have opted for composters...therefore less wheelie bins collected = less pollution from the refuse truck.  |
