It’s true! And it’s a lot easier than you think, here you’ll find 4 easy examples of how you can save you and your family a little money and be kinder to the environment too.

Switch to LED Lighting

Replacing your regular bulbs with LED lights is a great way to save yourself money and help the planet too. LED lights last longer than traditional bulbs which means there’s less waste, and they’re not filled with nasty, toxic chemicals that go to landfill and cause harm to the environment. LED lights are extremely popular with new builds and families who are hoping to save money and keep their home looking fresh and modern too. You can get a range of LED lights from LED hut.

Invest in reusable items

Thirsty while you’re out? Instead of spending money on bottles of water while you’re out and about, investing in a reusable bottle will not only curb your spending but also prevent more single-use plastic heading straight to landfill. There are thousands of stylish and practical reusable bottles out there, all you have to do is remember to fill it up before you leave and then take it with you!

But don’t stop at water bottles. You can also reduce plastic pollution with reusable cutlery, bringing your own takeout box to your favourite salad bar and your own travel mug to your favourite coffee shop.

Buy your own coffee

If your morning routine involves heading to your favourite coffee chain and splurging on a much needed latte or cappuccino then now is the time to break the habit! Instead, consider investing in a bag of sustainable coffee and a cafetiere. You can even put it in your reusable coffee cup! Saving a few pounds on a morning coffee might not seem like much, but it will add up over time. Give it a go!

Eat a little less meat

Don’t worry – we’re not telling you to go Vegan – unless that’s your thing. But you might agree that the biggest cost on our supermarket receipts is usually from the meat we buy. Having a couple of meals a week that are meat free will knock a considerable amount off your weekly shopping bill. Going meat free or reducing your meat intake can help the environment too, as meat production creates huge amounts of carbon emissions as well as destroying miles and miles of vegetation and natural habitats to create space for cattle and other animals.

If you’re unsure of what to cook instead, then head online and search for some cheap and easy meat free recipes. It’ll add a bit more variety to your plate and give the planet a little help too!
