well, i hope that everyone doesnt take your negative views otherwise this world really will be in a sorry state!

i was asking people for there helpful hints, not an unhelpful and really pointless comment. and no...it didnt help.

I suppose the most obvious (and it doesn't need saying, does it?) is never to buy bottled water.

ooh but the tap water here is so skank even when I use Brita filters I can't stand the taste I don't know why because when I lived a mile away in old rented house I really liked the tap water and didn't even filter it! I buy Aldi mineral water - is that very not green? surely better than buying coke et al?

Just a thought... if you are on a water meter water hippos in the cistern can save money and water. I've got 2 in my loo at the moment - both free from united utilities.

Good point. The Anglian Water website are also giving Freddie Frogs for free - just requested mine.

I'm hunting down a water butt now to collect rainwater for garden use.
