Swap cleaning products for Ecover and get refills so no throwing away plastic bottles
Heating down one degree
Heating down three degrees and buy slippers/jumpers for wearing around the house!

vinegar for cleaning and lots more. ive got a great book called 1001 uses for vinegar, its amazing what you can use it for, sooo cheap and its environmentally friendly, i buy about six bottles of white in my weekly shop. use it instead of fabric softener in your wash, omg youve never felt towels sooo soft, and no you cant smell it!!
