>>> GREEN - What Can You Do Today to Live a More Earth-Friendly Life?Gorgeously Green by Spohie Uliano

I had the pleasure of chatting with Sophie Uliano, Author of Gorgeously Green on the phone today. Her fabulous new book gives you Hundreds of Tips on How to Live a More Earth-Friendly Life. I asked Sophie what she thought was the one thing we could all do today to have an instant & powerful impact on the planet?

Change the Way You Look at Your Car. Get Organised & Plan Your Trips to reduce your petrol use.

How can you do this?

  1. Share grocery trips with your friends, family & neighbours.
  2. Either go with a friend to the Supermarket, or take their list with you.
  3. Organise yourself by checking in advance which day suits your girlfriends to go on a Shopping Trip. If you go together you’ll enjoy the experience a whole lot more.
  4. If you take a friend’s list with you to the Supermarket, perhaps she can mind your children to make it a quicker & easier trip for you.
  5. Have your car Serviced Regularly to ensure it maintains it’s fuel efficiency.
  6. Make a list of the Phone Numbers of places you shop frequently so you can call ahead if you’re unsure if they’ll have what you need. Keep it on the Fridge. This could save you a unnecessary trip.
  7. If you’re heading out to lunch or dinner with friends you could suggest picking them up on the way or vice versa.

Get creative & you may be able to save more than the planet; your bank balance will be a whole lot healthier too!
