Ten Top Tips for Saving Energy Round The Home
There's lots we can all do to save energy (and so save money) around the home, and they don't have to cost much either. In fact many of the best energy saving tips cost very little or nothing to implement, as they about changing habits. Thry these for starters:
1. Take control of your heating - turn down the thermostat by 1degree or more
2. Turn off or turn down radiators in rooms that don't get much use
3. Don't leave taps running - use the plug
4. Share your bath water!
5. Insulate your water pipes, especially the hot water pipes
6. Turn lights off when you're not using the room
7. Use natural light where ever possible
8. Use a lower temperature when washing clothes; 30 or 40 degrees is fine for most things
9. Don't use the tumble drier as they churn through the electricity; air dry instead
10. Many household electrical appliances have an 'ecomony' or 'eco' settings these days

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
