60 ways to go green!

Posted by Martin in Green tips | 5 December 2007

The icWales website ran a post on the 10th of November titled "Colour connected - 60 ways to go green".

Having looked through their ideas, most of them are pretty well known and many David has mentioned here over the past year.

However, I've picked out a few that I wasn't aware of :

11. Most high-street opticians will take your old glasses to give to people in need around the world.

19. Defrost your fridge regularly. It keeps it running efficiently and cheaply. If your fridge seems to frost up quickly, check the door seal.

43. Cut the cost of cleaning. Add lemon juice (59p for 250 ml), soda crystals (51p a kilo) and bicarbonate of soda (44p for 200g) to your shopping basket to get your taps sparkling, dissolve grease, and shift stains on your work surfaces. All for £1.54.

54. Have a clothes swapping party. Get together with you friends and swap clothes. This way you can get a whole new wardrobe for nothing and save the planet too!
