Green MoneySaving Welcome and Introduction

MSE_Martin

Sometimes going cheap can hurt the environment. This board's been set up to counter that. How do you live life the MoneySaving way, but protect our planet too?

As environmental issues impact right across our lives, the issue is of course duplicated elsewhere, such as organic food buying in MoneySaving Old Style. Yet my aim is this is a forum that will cover cost cutting and enviromentally friendly and also ethical financial issues too.

excellent, excellent!! Thanks for setting this up MSE. Green/ethical issues need to be bumped up the agenda as moneysaving can unfortunately sometimes come at the expense of ethical considerations.

Anyone interested in this board should also pay a visit to the MoneySaving Old Style board. A lot of the themes are the same. I hope the 2 boards will complement each other.

Thanks! :T

Great idea and close to my heart. Saving money and being green. I have learnt so much about being a better educated money saver from MSE and now I can now educate myself with the view & info from all you MSEers to be a better green money saving expert.

THANKS!!!!

This is a great idea!

I'm always scratching around looking for green issues posts, how about having a green energy sub board? All that info close together would be a help.

'save cash and save the planet' is a brilliant book from friends of the earth...it's £12.99 from their website http://www.foe.co.uk/living/save_cash_save_planet/ but i'm sure you moneysavers will find it cheaper somewhere else! I bought it about a year ago and it's paid back every penny i spent on it many many times over!
