TBH I'm embarrassed I don't do enough!!! Hope to do much more in the near future. For the time being: use Ecover products for all household chores,use soap nuts, use tumble-dryer sparingly, buy local and organic and fairtrade foods where possible, in the process of setting up a wildlife-friendly garden (using organic methods obviously), compost heap, energy-efficient light bulbs, don't leave appliances on stand-by, re-use plastic bags and/use canvas bags, often refuse to take plastic bags in shops, don't always flush the toilet after wee-wee ,recycling books through greenmetropolis.com site,give unwanted things to charity shops, buy children's books and toys in charity shops (sometimes)[Oxfam have some lovely new fairtrade toys],re-use envelopes for letters and old packaging for parcels, switch off the car engine when waiting more than a few seconds at traffic lights, use natural cosmetics, recently bought eco-friendly wood varnish for my decking,re-cycle what I can think of,try to boycott unethical companies (the good shopping guide comes in v. handy)like McDonalds, KFC, Asda (part of Wal-Mart), think about researching the B@Q wind turbine, feel very bad about flying (about twice a year to European destinations) and try to have more local holidays. Sorry for chaotic writing. WHAT GREEN THINGS ARE OTHER MUMSNETTERS DOING? Very interested to pick up some more hints.
