I am going to turn my empty garden into a food paradise

I'm planning to work from the main line station to work, rather than catching two tubes. Seems I save 0.14g of CO2 for each journey which is just over a mile.

Doesn't sound like much... but then guess it all builds up

And of course will be growing my own veg again - seed planting next month.

Yesterday I got myself a new bicycle so I will be cycling to work every day again.
Also, my wife and I have decided to take a leaf from her parents book on being green. They are Polish and live in a little village - they grow all their own fruit and vegetables, re-use or recycle EVERYTHING (some of their ideas are shocking, but brilliant!), walk everywhere they can...

I already grow my own veg, and recycle, and compost and use my car as little as possible:cool: but I want to try keeping chickens and am planning on having solar panels for hot water and possibly an air-source heat pump for the additional heating we will need when my house is altered later this year.

I'm going to redouble my efforts to recycle everthing, not just the obvious and make more use of feecycle to help me along.

And I'm going to look into composting (using a bokashi composter) and donating it to my local allotments (don't have my own garden and waiting list for allotments very long)

Having moved into a new flat with a back garden, I'm growing my own veg, composting, recycling all my plastics (thanks to the council for introducing this one), saving the pre-shower water for use around the rest of the flat, being meat-free one day a week and saving on the mountains of veg I eat by getting a weekly box (it's about 20% cheaper for me than getting from't shops).
I also keep warmer thanks to the irritating-to-others smug glow I have these days!

I'm going to walk the four miles to work three times a week - saving my tram fare and gym membership!
