What can you do?
It takes a very dedicated person to swap their car for a bicycle, particularly when the weather's cold or wet. And when it comes to travel, there are times when flying seems like the only option. The good news is lots of people making small changes will still have a big impact.
Save power
Being careful in your use of energy saves money as well as the world's resources. When making short journeys, walk or cycle instead of using the car. If you have central heating, turn the thermostat down a degree or two and put on a jumper to keep warm instead.
Switch off lights when you leave a room. Don't leave appliances such as TVs and DVD players on standby and don't recharge items like phones for longer than necessary. When you replace a light bulb, or buy new appliances such as a washing machine or fridge, choose energy-efficient models.
Reduce waste
When you're shopping, look out for products that use less packaging and which are kinder to the environment. Small & Mighty is a new-generation liquid detergent that gives you great wash results at low temperatures. And only one small cap of detergent is needed to handle each full load of washing. Because it's concentrated, it needs less packaging and requires less fuel to deliver than bulkier laundry products.
Persil small & mighty is available now in Bio, Non-bio, Colour care, Aloe vera and Persil with Freshness of Comfort varieties.
