  • I'm going to use washable/ reuseable nappies for my baby to be, grow my own veg, and make my own baby food.
    First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
  • I'm going to walk to work/use public transport at least 4 days a week.

    I have a very old back boiler (almost guaranteed to be a G rating) in my flat. My aim is to install a nice shiny new A rated condensing boiler using the government boiler scrappage scheme.

    I also want to replace the remaining standard lightbulbs which i have left in my place.
  • I lagged my loft
  • I am trying to reduce petrol usage by only going to the supermarket once a fortnight , on the way back from another essential trip, but still aiming for best reduction times!

    I'm going to buy as much fruit & veg from the local market, to reduce costs & packaging.
  • Use my car even less- shop less, eat less meat.
    iamnotashamedofbeingapennypincha:p
  • i'm walking more for shorter journeys (less than 2 miles)

    swapping clothes with friends, and mending old clothes, instead of just buying new ones

    trying to eat more local, in-season food (no air-freighted fruit or veg!), with less packaging

    and working with Friends of the Earth to get our local council to commit to a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020!
