Eco-Living Rag and Bone
If you have household items you no longer need, you can advertise them and give them away to others who can make good use of them. Rather than throwing away large or bulky items that are still usable or repairable, you can, instead, try and find a good new home for them. Everything listed is free-of-charge on collection.
Reduce Water Bills
ReduceWaterBills is a great place to start if you're looking at cost-effective rainwater harvesting. Understand why rainwater harvesting is such an important issue, gain practical experience of how systems work, see how much water (and money) you could save and the simplest ways of getting started.
Tapmagic
The world is short of water and, with global warming, it's getting worse. We want to help conserve water and at a cost of about £12 a house we could knock 4% off domestic water consumption. At a personal level, you will be saving water and energy and thus carbon emissions and money. You will also be raising awareness of the crying need to conserve water. Growth in water demand is around 1 or 2% a year so, at a macro level Tapmagic can buy a breathing space before the next round of dams need to be built and boreholes need to be drilled. Tapmagic replaces the standard tap insert; the tap itself is not replaced. The device is DIY fitted and no plumber is required. They meet UK regulatory requirements and are internationally patented.
