Environental New Years Resolutions
I've reviewed last year's resolutions by adding comments to this post.
I haven't had much time today to think of resolutions for the forthcoming year. However, I've come up with the following.
(1) Always put on an extra layer of clothing when cold.
The goal here is only to use the central heating as far as necessary.
(2) Always use a timer when running a bath.
I know it's not environmentally friendly to run a bath, but I don't have a shower. I do sometimes wash by attaching a shower hose to the sink taps, but it's not comfortable. I previously bought a timer, but it broke. I have now bought another and am using it.
(3) Turn the oven off five minutes before finishing cooking.
The idea here is that the oven should have enough heat to be able to continue cooking without further gas. If anyone knows if the five minutes can be extended, let me know!
(4) Reduce computer use.
I think I can do little things here such as not turning on the computer in the evening until I've eaten and done the necessary housework.
(5) Eat vegetarian food on average more than once per week.
I managed it exactly once per week during 2007. I want to commit to continue with that and also eat vegetarian food more often (hopefully at least one extra day per fortnight) in 2008.
