Tip of the Month - Drink Tap Water

Drink Tap Water

Bottled water does not just cost you at the till, it also costs the environment dearly

The average person will get through 168 single-use bottles of water in a year. As a nation we discard thousands of these water bottles every day – and rather than recycle them, we send up to 70% to landfill.

Bottled water is a thousand times more carbon intensive than tap, chiefly due to packaging and transport. Moving bottles of water around the globe adds about 100g CO2 per bottle.

Tip of the Month - Get Walking

Get Walking
Not only is walking the ultimate carbon and cost-free transport  but a brisk 30 minutes walk to work or school each day delivers the recommended two and a half hours of exercise we need each week to stay in good condition and reduce the risk of major illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.

Apart from the environmental and health benefits – walking is an increasingly popular social activity. Get a group of people together and explore our beautiful riverbanks, coastlines and countryside by foot and reconnect with the great outdoors.
