Meet the craggers

Some people might think that I am a little too obsessed with saving the planet through changing my habits, but people are now setting up Carbon Rationing Action Groups around the country to take things further. It would be hard for me to match their efforts.

So what do I do?

1. Turn off unnecessary lights and appliances
2. Measure out water to put in the kettle
3. Keep the heating thermostat down on 18C
4. Turn off the shower when I'm soaping up
5. and the big one, driving a bit slower. I've taken to driving at 65mph rather than nearer 70 on the motorway and my consumption has gone from around 46mpg to almost 50!

The fact is that I do work further away than I would really prefer, so I try to minimise my impact. I also try to work at least one day a week from home.
