Welcome
Eco Life is all about leading an ecologically and environmentally friendly life.
- Use light-saving electricity bulbs and don't use recessed halogen spotlights - each one burns 50 watts.
- Make sure your kitchen appliances are energy efficient, denoted by an A+ rating. The extra cost will pay for itself by the reduction in your electricity bill.
- Buy as many goods second-hand as possible at car boot sales, charity shops and on eBay.
- Create a compost bin.
- Don't just recycle - reduce, reuse and repair.
- Cycle or walk when you can. Most journeys are less than four miles.
- Buy organic meat, cheese and vegetables from farmers' markets and box delivery schemes.
- Only eat organic meat, and then only once a week.
- Use environmentally friendly paints when decorating.
