Green New Year's resolutions

 

Happy New Year, we hope you had a wonderful holiday. It's resolution time and we asked you about yours. We've listed the best here to help make 2011 the greenest yet.

Have a meat free day

Livestock cause 20% of the world’s emissions, and cows are the biggest culprit (moo).

Curb your waste

Throwing less food away, eating seasonally and less meat and growing and buying locally will help both your purse strings and the planet.

Get on your bike

Get fit, save money, save carbon - the benefits are endless!

Don’t fly anywhere

If you do want to travel away from home, then go by train and enjoy the journey and scenery.  Here are some of the best.

Get insulated

There's more to insulation than just your loft.  From floor to cavity and solid wall insulation, you can save hundreds of pounds by doing it properly. Find your nearest installer.

Plant more

Improve your well-being and your local ecosystem by planting more plants.

Say no to plastic bags

Use your trusty shopper bag instead of a plastic one from the shop.  EnviroSax have some lovely designs, are really strong, and fit perfectly in your handbag.

Recycle more

Do you recycle at home and at work?  If not, now is the time to get started. 

Global Action Plan

We're a different kind of environmental charity. Our focus is on people & taking practical action in our everyday lives.
