How can I be environmentally friendy?

SIMPLE DAY-TO-DAY WAYS TO PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT:

• Take a brisk shower, not a leisurely bath, to save water.

• Buy compact fluorescent light bulbs. They last eight times as long and use a fraction of the energy.

• Get on your bike instead of driving.

• Refuse plastic carrier bags, or at least reuse them. Cloth bags are better.

• Drink tap or filtered water, not bottled.

• Recycle.

• Turn off TVs and stereos instead of switching them to standby.

•  Lighten up: paint your walls a pale colour, so you need less artificial light.

• Improve the ambience and dine by candlelight, saving electricity.

• Ban blinds. Heavy curtains keep in more heat in winter.
