7. TURN DOWN THE THERMO

“MONEYEXPERT.COM recently revealed a number of heating hacks that Brits use to keep their heating switched off for as long as possible.

“It’s cold outside, there’s no denying that, but our bodies are capable of surviving more traumatic things than the weather. Wear an extra jumper, wrap up in a blanket, put your coat on when you’re outside so you can feel the benefit.

“All tips we’ve heard time and time again, but they work. And you’ll thank yourself when your next electricity bill comes through.”

8. LIGHT UP WITH LED

“USING LED light-bulbs is a no-brainer. Not only do they last longer, but they’re far more energy efficient than conventional bulbs. And there are so many different designs around now, you can achieve whatever effect you want for your home. You’ll be replacing the bulbs far less frequently too, so lots of savings in the long-run.”

9. USE REUSEABLE COFFEE CUPS

“SO many of us need a barista-made morning coffee to begin our day, and it’s so encouraging to see the amount of coffee shops who reduce the cost if you bring your own reusable coffee cup. This is such a simple change that anybody can make, and is also an effective way to live more sustainably.”

10. SPREAD THE WORD

“SPEAKING about environmental issues frequently will help other people to develop more of a green conscience.

“Setting an example is such a powerful thing, so we really shouldn’t forget how influential we can be.”
