Save Money and Reduce your Greenhouse Gases.

YOU Can:

  • make a difference and we are here to help
     
  • greatly reduce your energy and petrol and water bills without sacrificing your standard of living
     
  • start with simple free and low cost things or choose higher tech solutions that will save you more money in the long run. 

Free solutions

  • Simple things like turning your appliances off at the wall can save you 10% of your electricity bill.
  • Or checking the temperature of your refrigerator to make sure that it is not too cold. It should be 4 degrees C. 
  • Dressing warmly in winter can reduce your need for excess heating. Having your heat up high and getting around in a t-shirt is pure madness and is dramatically increasing your heating bills. 
  • Changing your driving habits can increase your fuel efficiency by up to 40%.  See our ebooks on saving petrol
  • Get rid of the beer fridge in the garage  - sorry guys
  • walk more
  • Spend a night a week without the TV or computer on, this will give you more quality time with your loved ones
  • throw away your plasma TV, they use way too much energy, if you stand near one you can feel the heat coming off it.
  • eat less meat and more vegetables, especially ones you have grown yourself - cows produce about a 1/3 of the greenhouses gases in the form of methane.
