Greener Living

Ok, don't yawn! I'm not going to suggest you start wearing 5,000 layers of woolly jumpers instead of putting the heating on, but I did chuckle at a few of these brilliant suggestions, thanks to TetraPak and dothegreenthing....

1. Cooking fish in tin foil using the heat from a car engine
2. Using the water you’ve cooked with – e.g. pasta - to water your plants
3. Brewing your own beer
4. Reusing the milk you cook with to make a cup of tea
5. Using household items like beer, egg, vinegar rather than shampoo
6. Dressing in the dark to save electricity
7. Showering with a friend!
8. Cleaning your house with vinegar
9. Using free colourful newspapers and magazines as wrapping paper
10. Upcycle rubbish and unwanted items into presents

I'm not toooo sure about using vinegar to wash my hair with, but you never know!
