Tip
1
Think Before You Print.
Use the "Selection" printing option more regularly
to print just the highlighted information you need rather
than whole emails/web pages/documents. Finally,
when you've finished with your print-outs, make sure they
go on to further good use or are sent for recycling rather
than going straight into the normal waste bin.

4 Get Outdoors!
Now that the weather permits, rather than spending an afternoon
in front of the TV at the weekend why not make an effort to
venture into the great outdoors. It
can be very easy to depend on electrical goods for your entertainment
i.e. TV, game consoles, PC etc but these are all highly energy
hungry for your home and won't do much to help your own energy
levels either.
