What can you do right now - at work or at home for little or no cost?
This week we look at things you could do right now. This list will not be complete. We'd love you all to suggest at least one more thing to add to the list. Lets inspire everyone to make simple changes.- Block drafts - use draft stoppers (you can make these out of scrap material filled with sand for example, or the leg of an old pair of trousers, again filled with sand or maybe even other scrap fabric and seal doors and windows with that spongy tape.
- Turn the lights off when not in use
- Turn off your computers at night
- Change your light bulbs to more energy efficient ones
- Stop using the clothes dryer - hang wet towels/bedding and clothing on the line
- Stop printing receipts, and don't offer your clients an option - email them and tell them why
- Recycle all cardboard and paper - see if your wholesaler if you are working at a veterinary clinic will take back old boxes to be used for future orders.
- Install curtains or blinds over windows for more insulation
- Stop driving places that are closer than 2km from your home or work. Walk or Bike!
- Try taking the bus some days instead of driving
- Have a competition with your family and friends or other businesses and see who can reduce their energy usage by the greatest percentage each month. Do the same with fuel use too.
- Plant a few lettuces in your garden. You don't have to be green fingered to grow a few veges!
What other little things can you think of that can be done for little or no cost?
What changes have you been inspired to make this year?
We look forward to hearing from you!
Have a great week.
