Planet Saving
RUBBISH
Glass bottles are totally recyclable. But in landfill they will never decompose.
60% of rubbish in bins are recycable but we only recycle 17%
83 kilometer squared of wrapping paper is thrown away at christmas. (That’s enough to wrap Guernsey)
We throw away £250-£400 of edible rubbish each year.
You can compost 50% of waste in the avarage kitchen bin!
SWITCH OFF
In twenty years from now,
When all the power’s gone,
We’ll rember all those rooms
With their standby lights left on.
We’ll say “I wish we’d turned
Them off, those pretty little lights!
Who knew they’d suck our planet dry
While we slept through the night?”
LAYER UP
What is our greatest weapon against global warming?
Science? Biofuel? Slor Power?
Nu-huh. It’s the sweater.
The next time it gets a bit chilly,
put a sweater on.
Not the heating!
- In 1970 the average temprature of a british house was 12 ºC.
- The first radiator was invented in 1855. Before that people wore bigger jumpers. And hugged more.
- Is your central heating making youfat?
When our houses are cooler our bodies burn calories and keep us nice and cosy.
