Live Simply

In February:

• Spring clean your wardrobe and cupboards early during the cold weather. 

• Donate warm clothing, footwear and sleeping bags to charities looking after the homeless e.g. SVP, Peoples Kitchen, Salvation Army or similar.

• Save electricity by switching off lights when leaving a room and avoid leaving items on standby.

  Could you live more simply to help our environment?

In January

• Remember to recycle your cards, wrapping paper and Christmas trees.

• A delicate wash releases more nonbiodegradable microfibres into the waste water.  Use a 40° wash instead of 30°

• Try to use alternatives to cling film such as reusable containers or silicone covers.
