Your Glamorous Green Home

Tuesday, April 12 2005

Dear friend,

I hope this finds you well. Thanks to all of you who emailed to welcome our new Green Coach, Julia. We’re continuing our green theme this week and focusing on greening up your home.

We’re all aware of pollution outside the home, but did you know that indoor air can be up to 10 times more polluted than outdoors? It may be time to open the windows and put away the Pledge and Mr Sheen for a cleaner – and cheaper alternative. It’s not just the planet you’ll be helping but your own health as well. Your lungs will thank you for it. I’m handing over to wonderful Julia who really is the expert on all these matters. Feel free to contact her to discuss her special offer Green Audit.

The problems presented by global warming and the heart breaking destruction of the natural world seem so enormous it’s easy for us as individuals to feel quite powerless.

As consumers we have more power than we know to influence large corporations and society for the better. I firmly believe in the power of each individual to stand up and be counted by making wise choices in what we buy and how we live our day to day life; from insisting that our garden furniture doesn’t come from the rainforest to switching off unnecessary lights.

Over £150 million pounds worth of electricity is wasted each year in the UK simply keeping televisions and VCR’s on stand-by. If we turned them off we could close over one in 20 electric power stations in the UK alone!

I hope that some of the following tips will give a flavour of how the smallest actions can have an enormous impact on our environment.

So let’s start switching on to switching off!
