Fear not readers this is not a come on! To celebrate Valentine’s Day The Energy Saving Trust is offering practical advice to save energy and get people in the mood….Some of their tips are:
- Buy some eco-friendly bath products and share a bath or shower. If all the couples in the UK shared their showers on Valentine’s Day we could save a collective 220 million litres of water
- If you are buying some romantic chocolates this February 14, make sure they are produced locally and recycle the packaging
Ethical and Green suggest turning out all the lights and using candles instead. It’s romantic and better for the environment and saves money on electricity. Beware of the fire hazard though!
How about trying organic wine instead? Or preparing a meal made from organic and local produce?
Alternatively you could switch off the telly and talk or take part in activities that don’t involve electricity…..
To find out more tips take a look at the website. It’s called Britain Unplugged and the address is www.britainunplugged.org.uk
