5 Very Easy Ways to go Green
By David Jones
1/Support local Farmers,
The transportation of grocery products burns fossil fuels and results in carbon emissions. Buying from your local farmer means you are getting fresher food and helping the environment.
2/Grocery/Shopping Bags
It is estimated that somewhere between 500 billion to 1 trillion are produced each year. As well as the environmental cost of producing them it is estimated that about 100,000 whales, seals, turtles and other marine animals die from them each year according to Planet Ark. They are also the 5th most common item of rubbish found on beaches. So by re-using or using an environmentally friendly bag you can save the worlds resources and help marine life too.
3/Plant trees and shrubs,
A very easy tip and way to help the planet as plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.
4/Have a shower and not a bath,
This is another very east tip to do, a bath uses about100 litres of water, a shower will use about a third of that. So you will save on water plus more importantly you will save on your energy bill as you will be heating up less water. The exception is the power shower which can you as much as a bath so to save money you would need to change it. 5/Think about your floor, Everybody always talks about the roof but this tips at ground level. Floor insulation for under the floorboards costs about £90 and payback time is a couple of years. If this is not feasible try to fill the gaps between the floor and skirting boards with a sealant like silicon but be careful not to block under floor airbricks. This tip should save you about £20 per year on your energy bills.
