Ten Top Environmental Tips…

September 29th, 2008

… to save the planet, save your (non-denominational) soul and save money.

Today’s top 10 are from Bovey Climate Action

1. Change a lightbulb - Replacing one regular light bulb with a low energy one will save 68kg of CO2 per year and save you £9.
2. Drive less - why not make one day a week a car-free day?
3. Check your electricity and gas meters regularly to monitor your energy consumption
4. Make the switch to a green energy supplier
5. Put reflective foil behind your radiators
6. Collect rainwater and use it for flushing/watering the garden
7. Reduce waste - build a compost heap or wormery
8. Eat less meat and farmed fish
9. Buy less and be happier
10. Be part of the solution. Get involved in your local green group. If there isn’t one, get some people together and start one up - it’s a powerful force for change.

Those lot over at BCA, have gone a few steps further, and have a top 60 list for you to download.

Bovey Climate Action was formed in October 2006 when a group of like-minded people got together to do what they could in the local community to tackle climate change. They are optimistic about a low carbon future, and their ability to respond to the effects of climate change. As a group, their aim is to:

• reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in Bovey Tracey
• raise awareness locally of climate change an how to tackle it
• lobby for greater change - to government and business
