Well, it's better he does something rather than nothing, I guess. He can influence situations. I think the following individual responsibility is this: We can use the shower for a minute less every day or so until down to shorter times. Only wash a full sink of dishes instead if fulling it with warm water for a few things. Same with the washing machine. Cook on a lower heat...the food still cooks fine. Buy a pressure cooker... it saves a lot of energy and cooks things a lot faster. Try to buy food from as near to home as possible..Do we really need those mange tous from Ghana? Use the oven to full capacity when possible instead of over several sessions. Take the bus where possible... this is difficult for some, I know ,who still feel vulnerable to Covid. Run several errands at once in the car. Think ahead consciously of where/how you can save fuel. We have a speed limit of 20 mph here so that's a bonus as there is no pressure from the , often aggressive, eager beavers, to go faster. Invest in some very warm clothes...cardigans, jumpers , thermal leggings etc... yes even for summer! My house if often colder inside than it is outside! Take the train instead of flying, where possible. I'm sure others will have things they do... I'd love to hear them.
I've made a lot of adjustments and out of interest, I'm going to take my meter readings at the end of the month to see what I have used.
I heard on the news that the government are not backing projects that have been proposed for 'green' fuel!! Heads in the sand! Who are these people??
