Making a planetary difference!

I do what I do to save money and to do my bit for the planet. I now save all my jam jars, pasta sauce jars, mushroom pots, tin foil dishes and reuse them on a regular basis. When there is an Autumn glut, then I make apple sauce and chutney and use it through out the year. I use the mushroom pots as seed trays and of course the tin foil dishes are used over and over for freezing food.

I also do what I can to reduce my energy consumption. Everything is switched off, turned down or just not used. In the last year we have used £864 less gas and electricity than we used in the previous year. Selling the big American washer and dryer saves gallons of water and hundreds of units of electricity. Every bill I get is considerably less than last time. It all might be slight but I know it makes a difference.
