Iâ€m just a capitalist; if itâ€ll save me money in the long run, Iâ€ll do it.
Iâ€ve changed all the light bulbs in my house to energy savers and I can see the difference in the electricity bill.
My hot water was already efficient but I added a timer to shorten the hours it works.
Iâ€ve rewired my garage light t come on with the garage door opener and taken the incandescent lamp out (it had blown anyway and those reinforced lamps are bloody expensive)
Weâ€re just going through a big gardening and mulching exercise to try keep our garden alive on less water because up here in Port Douglas and Cairns; the council has decided to charge us for water.
I used to recycle but the wife couldnâ€t be bothered taking 2 garbage bags out… Donâ€t worry, I call myself a sexist pig , too :)
