    After having the Conservatory roof fall in with all the snow and making an insurance claim, we're having a new roof - BUT - we're going to reuse the old poly carb roof panels on our (home made) cold frames to grow more of our own veg.
    Plus, the new roof comes packed in bubble wrap - ideal for packing all that ebay selling.:beer:

    Free book please! I'm going to change my boiler this year - and might even put in solar thermal water heating!

    I'm going to drive to work a few less times a month.
  • hi

    this is a big deal to me as driving saves time and makes me feel safer - I will stop using the car for short less than a mile trips and walk instead

    will save a bit of money and reduce my carbon footprint

    will start carrying large umbrella to foil would be muggers
  • I'm going to turn my heating down:)
  • I'm going to stop buying new clothes which have been shipped from thousands of miles away. I have a perfectly good sewing machine (I even have a hand-powered one too but one step at a time, eh?) and used to make plenty of my own clothes, so why not start again.

    Oh, and I will try to get my husband to control his methane outbursts.:D

    I'm trying to get more people at my work to better use the recycle bins as they ought to be used. It is a challenge.

  • I'm going to turn the heating off and wear bigger jumpers in 2010 to cut my emissions.
  • I'm going to help research ground heat exchange pumps for the in-laws!
