Sorry there have been no postings of late but, after a very long and horrid illness, my husband passed away on the 5th April.

Things you CAN do to help...
- Put a "No Junk Mail" sticker on your letterbox.
- Plant native plants in your garden to reduce the amount of water the garden needs. Don't forget to mulch!
- Compost your kitchen waste & recycle it onto your garden as mulch
- Calculate your carbon footprint
- Switch to Green Power for your electricity - call your provider & ask about their green options
- Install a solar water heater - save on your energy bill as well as helping the earth
- Use toilet rolls made from recycled paper
- Take shorter showers - 3 to 5 minutes.
- Rurn off your TV, DVD, computer, video when you are not using them. That little red light that shows things are on standby uses energy. Turn things off!
- Drive your car less - walk more - do yourself and the environment a favour at the same time!
- Wash your clothes in cold water
- Install low flow showerheads
- Make sure your tyres are at the correct pressure
- Reuse things - recycle if you can reuse
- Plant a tree - even 1 tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.
- Replace your old light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs
