2) Invest in an e-bike. The running costs are extremely low – one full charge will take you on average between 25 and 50 miles. According to Halfords an e-bike costs around 0.4p per mile to run. A car is around 12p per mile. 3) Turn down the temperature. Many clothing manufacturers recommend washing at 30C, and detergents are designed to work well at this temperature. Washing at 30C will save 40 per cent of energy and it’s £20 per year cheaper.1) Recycle old clothes. Several shops offer customers incentives to recycle, saving them from the landfill.
2) Stop wasting food. It is a waste of money and the energy that went into producing it. Around 4.5million tonnes of food is squandered here every year. Stopping this would be the green equivalent of taking a quarter of our cars off the road, and save families up to £700 a year.
