Sustainable Westbury on Trym, Are you listening SUSWOT?

Haven't seen anything on this website talking about the work SUSWOT has been doing and its plans for the future.

Who remembers the Chooseday last year? The no cars on Tuesdays challenge.

Does anyone have any stories they'd like to share regarding the choices they made on those green tuesdays; were there any nightmare stories/ great successes?

There are so many ways each and everyone person cannot cut down on their wastes and concerve energy.

Here are some tips on how to reduce this waste:

Did you know that TV screens and computer monitors left on standby use

almost as much electricity as when they are on full? Don't forget to turn off your computer and TV properly when not in use.

Leaving a light on in a room without need costs both you and the

environment. Here's how to help:

Always check that lights and fittings are clean. Dirty luminaries can

reduce lighting output by 20%. By cleaning regularly you can maintain

lighting efficiency.

Replace ordinary light bulbs with energy saving bulbs. These can last

up to 10 times longer and use 25% less energy.

Did you know that in the UK a third of all clean household water gets

flushed down the toilet? Why not consider installing a grey water

system taking water from your washing machine or bath to flush the

toilet?

Did you know that in the UK we produce enough waste daily to fill the

Albert Hall to the brim? Do your bit and reduce, re-use and recycle your wasteTry to make sure you separate your waste for recycling into: paper,

glass, aluminium cans, and food waste for composting.
