So we’ve found a few simple ways we can all do just that, and what’s even better is they are all low cost and take very little time at all so these eco- friendly additions to your day would be very easy to fit into an already busy schedule.
If everyone added a few more plants about the home it would really do the planet a world of good. Not only do they look wonderful but plants are a natural carbon sink, trapping our old foe carbon dioxide and reducing its impact on our atmosphere. Furthermore plants do all this while producing more much needed oxygen that is so essential to all life on Earth.

A wonderfully easy and quick way to make your home instantly more eco-friendly is by switching your blubs for ones that are more energy efficient. Leading the way in this sustainable energy wave is the innovative LED Bulb.

Gone are the dark days of energy guzzling filament and fluorescent lights, with our luxury selection of pioneering LED bulbs, we’ve turned this tedious task of finding a environmentally friendly way to brighten up your home into a LED de-LIGHT!
We all knew tea would save the world, but we perhaps didn’t expect it quite like this.
Here’s how…
Over-filling our kettles is not just costing us millions every year – it’s using precious energy. The Eco Kettle is here to make even our teatime tradition a planet friendly affair by its clever innovation of two separate chambers - one for filling and storing water and one for releasing water to be boiled. The boil chamber has a handy teacup measurement on the side so you always know how much water to fill it with. This way you never need to boil any excess water to get your daily tea!
With all that energy saved, it not only decreases your energy bill but help to decrease harmful greenhouse emissions from the power plants that produce our energy. And since greenhouse gases cause a whole host of problems from increasing sea levels, rising temperatures, air pollution and acid rain, reducing it is crucial to our planet’s survival.
And with all those world saving benefits an eco-kettle cuppa tea never tasted better!
