Bring plastic packaging back to the supermarket when you've unpacked your vegetables and fruit Cycle rather than driving for all journeys under 5 kilometres Grow at least some of your vegetables - for instance the super-easy Daubenton's Kale, a cottage kale that propogates by your taking off and planting side shoots and rarely comes to flower Use your dishwashing water for watering your flowers and veggies Put your coffee grounds around the hosta to keep away slugs Instal a water butt to harvest rainwater (haven't done this yet) Insulate your home as well as you can afford Eat more vegetarianishly - for instance have one meal a week a veggie pasta and one meal a week a lentil soup Hassle the hell out of politicians to cut your country's carbon footprint
