This year I'll be ditching the bus and walking to work.

Reducing taking the car for short trips.
Remembering to turn lights off around the house.
Even though we have energy saving bulbs throughout the house I am looking into putting lower wattage bulbs where brighter light is not essential.
Lowering the thermostat on the heating by 1 degree.

We will be growing our own veg and are looking into keeping chickens.

getting my chickens in two weeks (that will do a bit more for recycling food waste)

We're all set to use our new veg. beds in spring!
We'll need to keep composting too, so we can put some more on the beds.
Maybe this is the year to collect rain water for the garden?

I got the kids involved to help cut my high electric bills, they take a weekly meter reading and use the i measure site to track our energy use. its opened there eyes to not only the cost but our carbon footprint. with giving them more responsibility they are having fun and doing a great job taking steps to reduce our energy consumption.

Like more plastic, tetrapacks, and to pick up cardboard - thus I won't have to get in a car and go to the recycling centre as I do now. Oh, and I already grow me own veg.

Continue growing food
Use more low energy bulbs
Walk where possible even more often
Keep recycling - and nag everyone else to!
Put a time switch on the modem so it doesn't get left on by kids!
