Do The Green Thing

Once you’ve used your body warmth, you can try turning some things down or wrapping some things up to save even more CO2.

Turn down your washing machine
30 is the new 40

Turn down your dishwasher
Your plates will still be clean enough to eat your dinner off

Turn down your hot water
Your boiler doesn’t have to be quite so boiling

Wrap up your windows
Time to stop ignoring those double glazing salesmen

Wrap up your gaps
Put an end to chilly draughts

Wrap up your home
Insulation, insulation, insulation

Got something to say?

What others have said...

Think people should pledge not to fly...

Can't do the body warm, in Puerto Rico, have to try something else. It's already warm enough in PR. But I'm doing the plastic bag, already, proud of them, got a few to sell around, and make people conscious.

Uhm well I guess I'll have to wait 'til next month to do the Green Thing cuz I'm currently living in Zambia (africa) and don't have a heater. Shame really, would have loved to join in with a bang XD. Well I'll just have a look at some of the past month's Green Thing's To Do. Tata and thanx for a GREAT, FANTASTIC, MAGNIFICENT webpage =D!
