You can make a difference!
We all know that we should be doing something to tackle climate change. But did you know that it’s easy to make a difference to the greenhouse gases we all cause? Please try a few of these small steps in 2010 and make big changes.

Recycle more. Around 75 per cent of what we put in the bin can be recycled. Please put all your paper, glass bottles and cans in your green recycling box. If your green box is full after all the festivities, why not order another box free of charge. You can recycle more that you think.

Save while you shop. Take your own bag, instead of relying on plastic carrier bags. Buy bottles you can refill. Avoid disposable items like razors.
Love food, hate waste. Wasting food costs the average household £480 a year. Visit www.lovefoodhatewaste.com for tips and great recipes for leftovers.
