Big saving for me was installing a grey water system which uses rainwater to flush toilet and wash clothing in washing machine
Learn to walk short distances or cycle instead of taking car
I built a grey and rainwater water system and my water bill went from £80 a month to £20. I use a 1000 litre tank free from a local printer and a 12 volt on demand pump run by a battery. I charge it for 6 hours a day at 15 watts.THe whole system cost about £100.I have a wood burning stove which heats the lounge. All the wood comes from skips when I drive around for work. They are about 80% efficient compared to an open fire which is only about 20%. It cost £700 inc a flue liner and I fitted it myself.It has reduced my gas bill by 2/3.
