Random Green Tips

Feel free to share these tips with friends and family.

1. By taking quick showers instead of baths, you could make 1000 cups of tea with the saved water each week. (from Easy Green Store)

2. Recycling 1 soft drink can could save enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours! (from Easy Green Store)

3. Recycling one glass bottle or jar saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours.

4. To make more efficient use of your oven's energy, cook meals in large quantities, and set aside extra portions for another day. Reheating uses less energy than preparing a new meal - and will save you time too.

5. Reuse sheets of paper which have been printed on one side and try to print double sided whenever possible => It will save a lot of paper.

6. Get Friends of the Earth Tip of the Day here. Really informative!
