Everyone's fussing about global warming and environmental degradation, but what can the average resident do to help the South West - and the planet?
Today, i would like to launch the 10 small steps, 10 big strides campaign! From unplugging phone chargers when not in use to buying environmentally friendly compact fluorescent light bulbs, we can make the South West greener!
The 10 steps are simple but actionable measures that collectively can make a very, very big difference - they are things that everyone can do!
Here's the list:
Change conventional light bulbs to compact fluorescent ones
Buy appliances with the environmentally friendly ENERGY STAR label
Don't air-condition an empty room
Unplug chargers and appliances when not in use
Switch to green power through your energy provider
Walk or take public transportation or join a car share scheme
Recycle your glass, metal, paper and plastic
Bring your own cloth bag to the supermarket
Use green cleaning products
Switch to paperless bank statements and online bill paying.
