.. with a definite consumer bent. Everything from green health spas to cars. And, of course, the obligatory list of green tips:
Environmentally friendly kitchens
1. Always use lids on your pans to reduce heat loss.
2. Turn down the heat as soon as anything boils, a gentle boil uses less energy.
3. It's more efficient to use a small gas flame on full blast than it is a large flame on a low setting.
4. Ensure your gas flame is blue and not yellow. If not, get it looked at.
5. Only boil the amount you really need. Use an electric kettle instead of the gas hob.
6. Don't open the oven door unless it's essential to avoid losing heat.
7. Don't leave the fridge door open for too long, as it will have to work harder to regain it's cool temperature.
8. New fridges and freezers are up to 75% more energy efficient than those made 30 years ago. Investing in a new fridge can save £100's of your bills.
9. Use your old coffee grounds, teabags and fruit and vegetable peelings for compost in the garden.
10. Washing up liquid is a good multipurpose cleaner for floors and surfaces as well as dishes.
