No more overflowing rubbish!
More and more councils are switching to two-weekly rubbish collection cycles. Whilst this increases the take-up of household recycling, many households struggle to manage.

The results are overflowing bins, maggots in the rubbish and frustration.

Sounds familiar? Help is at hand: there are some simple, cost effective ways to solve this problem - and you'll be doing your bit for the environment at the same time.

It's Time to Switch! Large scale renewable energy programmes - such as solar, hydro and wind power are accounting for more and more power being generated in the UK. At the same time, many are worried about the new nuclear power stations being pushed for by the government. If you haven't already done so, switch to a carbon neutral energy tariff. By doing so, you'll be doing your bit to encourage and ensure further investment into clean, renewable energy sources - and dramatically cutting your own personal carbon footprint.

Is Global Warming a hoax? Many people have questioned the validity of Global Warming claims, or express doubt as to whether or not Climate Change is down to excessive carbon emissions. Click here to read the global warming hoax arguments and counter arguments.

Make your own energy! There are lots of ways to make your own renewable energy for your own home: solar heating, solar lighting, even a wind turbine on the roof! Some of these projects can cost a lot of money and have questionable payback - both in terms of environmental benefits and money saved. Yet there are a number of DIY projects that will cost you only a few pounds and help make a big difference - improving your standard of living and improving your carbon footprint. Now that really is efficient energy saving!

Using your car

With the cost of fuel rising to well over £1 a litre, it makes sense to look at reducing how much money we all spend on driving our cars.

Car usage accounts for approximately 1/3rd of a household’s carbon emissions. By taking a close look at how we use our cars, keeping them as energy efficient as possible and choosing alternative transport where appropriate, we can all save fuel and reduce the impact our cars have on the environment.

Can’t I just plant a tree to offset my carbon emissions? A lot has been said and written about planting trees to offset your carbon emissions. Unfortunately, planting trees is not an efficient energy saving though - the results are difficult to quantify and the positive impact on the environment is often negligible. Is it better than doing nothing? Possibly. But you'll have to plant thousands of trees to absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide as your home emits each year.
