Hey there, I'm Ellie, blogger at http://cl0setdancer.blogspot.co.uk/ and lover of all things green.
Ignoring the truth is a brilliant stratedgy when it comes to homeowrk, sorting out the post or avoiding walking the dog but when it comes to climate change, it's something that we really need to face head on.
Protecting the environment isn't so hard though, It can make your life more interesting...

10 quick and simple changes which can have a big difference

  • Say no to standby - turn it off by the wall
  • Only Boil the amount of water that you need
  • If you feel cold, throw on a jumper. Not only will this save the planet but it will also save you hundreds in heating bills
  • Turn your router off at night
  • When in the supermarket, buy local. The closer the origin, the less impact on the planet
  • If you can't buy local food, buy fairtrade!
  • Get an electricity monitor - it's easy to install and shows you how much electricity your using at any given time
  • wash clothes at colder temperatures - most washes don't need hot water anyway
