Eco Tips

Check out these 10 eco-tips to be more ‘green’.

1.

Help Protect Habitats.
Practical conservation groups are always looking for local people to give up a few hours a month to help create and protect habitats for wildlife. No experience is needed as free training is given.
Check out the contact details for groups in your area, either in the phonebook or on the internet.
 
 

2.

Avoid Using Sponges In The Kitchen.
Try to avoid using sponges in the kitchen, for wiping surfaces or washing up.
Linen dishcloths last longer than a sponge for wiping surfaces. For washing up, use a brush.
 
 

3.

Use apps that plant trees when you shop.

Some apps redirect cashback into tree-planting or carbon offsetting with zero cost to you.

 
 

4.

Eco-Friendly Gift-Wrap.
Beautiful, eco-friendly gift wrapping is easy if you use creativity rather than cash.
For example, wrap gifts in old newspapers, used paper grocery bags, or fabric. Small gifts can even be wrapped in colourful paper scraps left over from other projects.
Or make personalised wrap by decorating plain paper or old shoe boxes. Print or stamp holiday greetings on recycled paper.
Finally, reuse bows and tie packages with string, ribbon, or raffia that the recipient can reuse. Avoiding tape makes it easier to save and reuse the paper as well.
 
 

5.

Use Vinegar To Clean Rust Off Nuts And Bolts.

Use vinegar to remove rust on nuts and bolts and other mineral deposits such as calcium deposits.
