I received an email from one of my readers last week asking for advice on laundry. I have posted the email below, in the hope that we can find him the answer.

Hello Eco Bloke

Thanks for helping to raise awareness of how we can all help.

I was wondering about something. Is it best to wash my clothes at 30 or 40 degrees?

Cooker Hob Gas Energy Saver

There are many ways that we can save on energy day to day, but today I want to cover some specific tips that you can use when cooking at home.

If you cook regularly then these tips could help you reduce your energy consumption by 12-80%, massively reduce your carbon footprint and save you money!

1. Put a lid on it! Covering your pots and pans when heating will allow them to reach their optimum temperature quicker. This means you will be using less energy and your food will be ready in a shorter time. A bonus if you are in a hurry!
