 Plan A Vegetable Garden with Innovative GrowVeg.com

Following in the footsteps of the Obamas, the Queen and the Prime Minister, planting a kitchen garden is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to start the New Year.

More and more people are including fruit and vegetables in their gardens as they experience the superior taste and health benefits of home-grown food.

However, growing vegetables has traditionally needed more experience than picking out plants from a garden centre; many crops need to be grown from seed, spaced correctly and ‘rotated’ in groups, to prevent the build-up of pests or loss of soil nutrients.

Glow-worm Applauds Boiler Scrappage Scheme

Glow-worm Applauds Boiler Scrappage Scheme

The Boiler Scrappage Scheme has moved a step closer to reality following its inclusion in the Pre-Budget Report from Alistair Darling.

Supporters of the campaign ‘Reheat Britain’ say that the scheme, much like the car scrappage scheme, will help households replace costly, inefficient boilers with a grant of £400 to contribute to the replacement costs.

In addition homeowners will save up to £310* a year in fuel bills by replacing a less efficient boiler, which with the additional benefit of the £400 grant makes this proposition even more attractive.

AlertMe Swingometer – How UK Is Tackling Climate Change

Swingometer

While global leaders are in Copenhagen attending the COP15 Climate Change Conference, consumers in the UK are already making an impact on their home energy usage, rather than waiting for long term policies to be effected.
AlertMe, the award-winning home energy management service, believes in a consumer-led solution to climate change, and is empowering consumers to take action today, to reduce their home energy consumption – and their costs.

“Just making energy usage visible to consumers can reduce consumption in the home by as much as 20%, which is a huge win, but it has to be done in a way that is meaningful and fun,” said Pilgrim Beart, co-founder and CEO of AlertMe. “To support the goal of Copenhagen, and help consumers make real changes in their lives, we are launching a fun display that everyone can use – whether or not they are an AlertMe customer.”

Anyone can watch the Swingometer rock backwards and forwards as the nation increases and decreases its energy use. As 29% of the country’s total energy consumption occurs in the home, it is important for consumers to understand their role in reducing the UK’s carbon footprint.
