1) Wrap gifts in fabric and tie with ribbon; both are reusable and prettier than paper and sticky-tape.
2) Start a compost heap to reduce the waste you send to landfill sites.
3) Buy your own hive: without bees the planet would last for only 60 years (and honey is good for your health).
4) Use a nappy washing service: they use 32% less energy and 41% less water than home washing.
5) Slow down. Driving at 50mph uses 25% less fuel than 70mph.
6) Wash your clothes with your flatmates' instead of wasting water on half-empty loads.
7) Turn down your central heating and put on a jumper.
8) Take a brisk shower, not a leisurely bath, to save water.
