The Economical Environmentalist: Book giveaway

I've been turning my washing machine down to 30C. So far the clothes have come out just as fresh and clean and it will save me money!

I've just put a compost bin in the garden, and I've got a more efficient cooker, and I'm going to cook on a little campfire in my garden made from bits of waste wood when the weather gets a bit warmer. I like having a pay-as-you-go electricity meter, it really helps you to see how fast you're using electricity! Though my provider doesn't have renewable energy.

I've also moved closer to town, so I can walk in instead of getting the bus, and I'm buying things in more recyclable packaging - eg, cat food in tins instead of packets.

In addition to growing veg and composting, I plan to make toys for my daughter, and encourage our relatives to do the same, or simply give us pretty rocks or shells that they've picked up on walks.

I'm going to get my boiler serviced and lag my pipes!

I'm hoping to get a wood burning stove fitted so that we don't have to use as much oil for the heating.

I'm going to start a car-share scheme at work so that me and 2 of my colleagues can travel into work together and save on petrol as well as reduce our carbon footprint!

This year I'm going to do more draught-proofing round doors, put heat reflectors behind all my radiators, grow more food in the garden and get a wood stove...
