  4. Switch off and unplug appliances and chargers - 20 Aug 2005

    I hadn’t realised this. So that’s why the laptop charger always got so hot! I am now making a real effort to switch it off when laptop is 100% charged. Think of the money I’m saving. And the emissions I’m not emitting. (No personal comments thank you …)

  5. Stop Taking Plastic Bags From Shops - 25 Aug 2005

    “Try to remember to take old carriers with you when you shop …” Recycled loads at Tescos last night as I went in (felt virtuous) Then didn’t have enough to put my shopping in when I’d shopped (felt foolish) So after paying I had to put stuff in my trolley and get carriers back out of recycling when outside the shop (felt deviant) I’ll keep trying.

  8. Get Rid Of Some Of Your Books - 11 Sep 2005

    Obliged to have a serious look at the book situation after a mouse and a leaky pipe (they are related) forced me to empty the bookcase.Is my nearly-complete series of hardback Famous Five of any use to anyone? Back copies of Garden Illustrated? The mouse won’t be reading them … All remaining books actually fit on the shelves now and will try GreenMetropolis.com with the remaining boxes full. Or even the local second hand bookshop.

    Hooray! A local group have just started distributing vegetables grown locally so now I can get seasonal produce from the nearby farms instead of from Riverford Organics – I loved their fab fresh veg but it is grown in Devon and transported all this way!

  12. Wear Your 'Make Poverty History' Band - 04 Jan 2006
