3 NO-COST WAYS TO SAVE THE PLANET

TAKE ACTION WHILE BOOSTING YOUR BANK BALANCE

PUT THE CAR KEYS AWAY

Need to run up to the shops? Why not make it a habit to walk or bike there instead of driving. Not only will you save on carbon emissions, you’ll cut back on petrol use and get a great workout as well. It’s a win-win-win situation!

REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE

The UN reports that we produce 300 million tonnes of plastic each year worldwide, half of which is for single-use items. Pack a water bottle wherever you go to fill from the tap, always have canvas shopping bags on hand, switch to soap bars and buy refills of shampoo that don’t come in plastic.

SMART SHOWERING

Next time you shower, take a bucket in to catch excess water and put it to good use by watering your plants. The same goes for greywater from washing and baths. Greywater makes up the majority of a household’s wastewater and really doesn’t need to go through an expensive treatment process when it can work wonders in your garden.
