| Don’t ‘overcharge’ your devices and gadgets. It’s not a myth, a small amount of electricity is still drawn when a device is plugged in for charging even after it has fully charged. Instead of charging overnight, juice up for a couple of hours during the day, maybe just before you go to bed, then unplug to save on your electricity bills. This could save you as much as £30 a year. |
| Use A Bowl To Wash Dishes & Recycle The Water. Always wash dishes by hand in a bowl in the basin, and then use the dish water for watering the garden, or indoor plants. |
| Eco-Friendly Ant Deterrant. If you’ve got a problem with ants, avoid chemical based ant deterrants. Instead, locate the place of entry, squeeze a lemon onto it and leave the peel. Ants will also retreat from lines of talcum powder, chalk, bone meal, charcoal dust and cayenne pepper. |
