Go Green - Save Money

Having trawled through numerous web sites in an effort to thoroughly research the ‘Go Green’ subject for you, it became increasingly obvious that most of the advice being offered has been on our site here - Save Money Guide - since we started our crusade on money saving.

Without wishing to rain on anyone's parade, it is not difficult - not really new - just a matter of common sense.

To make life easier for you we list below some of the pages on this site where you will find this specific information. In reality going green tips are found on most pages of this site.

Plastic bags - This is a definite 'no brainer'. If you click on Tip. 1 you will earn some money towards your next groceries bill.

Heating - Valuable tips for saving money on heating can be found at our other page On the same page you will find many tips about saving water, particularly useful if your supply is metered. All very 'green'.

As our green reader Chrissie says some products that are promoted as environmentally friendly are not necessarily the cheapest or the most effective. Take a look at Eco friendly products that are probably already in your cupboard and you will see how easy it is to go green.

Make sure you get your recycling right as far as your local Council is concerned. Don’t incur totally unnecessary fines that some Councils, who have managed to tie themselves up in knots with red tape, are now inflicting on their residents.

So instead of clicking around from site to site – stay with us - all your needs are catered for here.

Emily Cummins produced the following comments for The Daily Telegraph magazine:

Being green doesn't need to be extreme. Telling people to live off their rain-water just isn't possible.

However, trying not to over-consume is easy. Make the most out of the resources that you've got.

Think twice about whether you need a bigger flat-screen T.V.

If something in your home breaks, rather throw it away, find out how to fix it online. You'll find manuals and blogs that offer solutions to all sorts of things.

Keep spare parts in case they might be useful for something else. Throwing something away, instead of recycling it, is the most horrendous thing ever.

Buy products from a local butcher or fruit shop rather than buying products that come friom the other side of the world.

Last, but by no means least, don't forget to recycle your rubbish to be reused again in a totally different form.
