This morning's news told the country we should consider living like our previous generations did during the war. In 1941 the streets were littered with posters asking people to save water, save power, reduce weekly shops to rations and people did just that. In our squeaky clean and high tech society, can we possibly save money and resources to the same extent?
- Cling film on single glazed windows to keep heat in
- Boiler off, jumpers on
- TV off standby
- Reduce driving to a bare minimum
I've already tried some of these, the cling film is brilliant! We've also cut the petrol bill by 25% just by planning journeys ahead, including trips to the shops within trips back from work. The best thing I did with the car is keep it in a high gear all the time to keep the revs down. Our average fuel spending has gone from £42/2weeks to £37/2weeks, that's a saving of £130 over the year. And we counted the saving after the VAT rise!
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!
