Burst into 2010 With Some 'Eco-Resolutions'

Happy New Year to all my readers! I hope that you all have a fantastic 2010.

So, today’s the day to make a commitment to change something for the New Year. Will you be making any New Years Resolutions that will be ‘eco-friendly’?

Here is a  recap of some of the suggestions I made this week for resolutions that you may want to keep for 2010.

• New Years Resolution One: Cut Down on Unnecessary Electricity

Are you throwing away money?

Can you afford to take a crisp new £50 note each month and burn it? I thought not, but this is the amount that the average British family wastes each month on food that never gets eaten.

Think about the food cycle for one minute. Maybe that manky fruit that you chucked out last week. Usually grown in some exotic country where it is warm all year round. This fruit’s emissions are already high, even before it gets on the boat to leave to England. There is green house heating, watering, picking and packaging. All of which produces emissions of green house gasses.
