  • Walking to school is going to become the norm rather than the exception and I am going to try to buy products with less packaging, and put in a better effort at my allotment this year ...

    I'm going to walk more often
  • I'm going to be growing vegetables again this year. Last year planted lots of things, and now know what'll grow in the frozen North and what won't - the corn was a total disaster - carrots onions and potatoes much better. Plus, it's time to get the loft insulated.
  • I am going to fit reflector panels behind my radiators and make some draft excluding snakes so that I can try and keep the house warm with less gas usage.
