Re: I think I'm doing my bit

i read most newspapers online but buy the times AND read it online. I refuse to use my dishwasher too so that saves some energy I guess. I bu fresh unpackaged fruit and vegetables and meat from the butchers. Recycle all my plastics, tins, papers etc.

Students also have the least effect on the carbon emissions because they rarely fly and they often use public transport rather than owning a car. I learnt that on that programme where people lived on the dump for a while.

I also have quick showers like they enforce on that other programme that used to be on where the lived in a hut for a week and then they did stuff to the families house to help save energy, like having an alarm hooked to the shower to say when 3 minutes was up. I dont own a telly or cd player so i dont have them to leave on standby either. I'd say the worse thing I do is have my laptop on 24/7, and i'm not exactly sure how much energy that uses...

So I'd say i'm probably pretty eco-friendly.
