Step change from consumer to producer - one step at a time

Planning_ahead

Sometime over the past week I have read on the internet about the step change from consumer to producer. This has made me consider small changes that I can make to be greener. I drink herbal tea I thought about the difference been the mint tea bag I buy and the mint in my garden that i make an infusion of. Both healthy , tea bag and box recyclable, but making my own infusion means I produce and not consume.With the producer mindset I have planted some seeds for veg through the autumn, needing a spray bottle I thoroughly washed out a cleaning spray and I have a fine spray bottle for my seeds.
Instead of buying plants from the garden centre I have taken cuttings and collected seeds for next year.

Once you are ready to think about larger changes, you could consider becoming less a consumer of electricity imported from the grid, and more a producer of it. You could also reduce your consumption of fossil fuel gas for water heating. See the solar PV FAQ at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3872445

(This is assuming you consume electricity or gas from the grid, if not then congratulations, you are already well ahead of most of us.)
