Want to save your planet?  email this discussion to a friend?

I have a few ideas.
I'm not a professional, I'm just giving what I think is good advice.
Here goes ........
I recycle as much of my waste as I can.

I use a lot of my household waste in my compost heap at the end of my back garden.
The rest of my recycleable waste goes into a special recycle bin(our bins alternate every week, we have two, one grey one blue. One week its ordinary waste that can not be recycled, that goes on to landfill. The next week its the recycle bin.
I usually put in paper, aliminium cans and tins, and plastics (clean).

Then we recycle our glass bottles (I got a large plastic crate for that).
I bring them myself to local bottle banks, (you'd see them a lot near shopping centres).

I use good lightbulbs that dont use up too much electricty. When your not in a room just turn off your lights, that helps too.

I always use cloth and hard wearing shopping bags (you can buy them from most stores). I aways keep them in the car and in my utility room ready for use.

I have a battery recharger. Its expensive at first but then you never need to buy them again, battries are expensive in any way, so you save too in the long run.

I recycle my old mobiles for cash (there are lots of websites out there offering this service).
If people out there only do a few of these things you are saving your planet and your pocket.
If anyone else has any ideas please do share!
Thank you for your time.

I know what your saying.
Thses are the people that can make a difference. These are also the hardest people to contact. All they really hear is money, and thats all they want to hear. your right, its not going to be done by two people on their own, many people are now starting to realise that they can make a difference by doing something small.
Its just about caring for something, and getting up and doing something about it.
It does not take long.
Its worth it.
Anybody can do it.
Once you make that change, thats it, you just carry on doing it.
its like if you do nothing, you carry on doing that .... some might feel guilty about it then when they know what they can do and how easy it really is.
