I will be honest, the hard part of this assignment for me was not doing my best to reduce my eco footprint, it was not even saving water, using less electricity and gas, buying eco-friendly products or using public transport. No it was not any of these, it was in fact reporting the changes I have made over the 3 months on my blog. It has taken me a long time to get here and as I look back on my first posts I am happy with my achievements throughout this assignment.
I have managed to reduce consumption of gas, electricity and water and maintained a reasonable amount of waste leaving the home.
I would like to point out that I have always been pretty conscious of how much water I use so the reduction was not huge however I have started to recycle the dishwater to use on the plants outside which I think is great!
The small changes in the bills I would say has a small part to do with being extra aware of how often electrical and gas appliances are used but I also believe the weather has played a part too. I have not had the heater on for a while so that has definately made a difference.
I have also been driving my car much less and as a result I have taken in more of what my local area has to offer! (Mind you public transport has made me loose a few hairs when trains are cancelled and I am running late for uni!)
Overall I have enjoyed this assignment and look forward to maintaining the practices I have put into place. 6/ 16 has gone GREEN and I plan to keep it that way!!
