Around the Home

Making small changes around the home will not only save you money but also make a positive contribution to the environment.

• Swap aluminium foil and cling film for reusable plastic containers

• Collect rainwater in a water butt and re-use the water for the garden
• Switch your light bulbs to energy-saving or halogen
• Turn down your thermostat by 1 degree and lower your heating bills
• Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth and save litres a day
• Although costly, think about having your loft insulated. You can cut your energy bills by up to 20% in the long term
