Making Your Home Green

From examining many sites, there is a wealth of information but little to help you prioritise where to focus your efforts for a greener house.

How to..
​
With the increasing cost of energy, growing importance of water conservation and new regulations in place and on the horizon regarding recycling, the home (HIPS packs), practical guidance on where to focus your energy is debated in this section.
There are many ways to start down the path with respect to these activities from stopping dripping taps and turning off lights to organising the way you recycle. Many of these activities can be started now.
However, if you want to invest in these areas to make your home greener but understand the quantitative return on investment (i.e. Do you get your money back and how long it will take) then prioritisation of where to spend your money is paramount.
This section tackles these issues whilst also offering some practical advice e.g. Where should you start? Are there government loans? etc...
Save Water
Where to start? More of the items here are down to common sense but there are a few useful gadgets that can help to save water. Also more information can be found on the waterwise website.
Save Energy
Where to start? The items below in each section are listed in priority based on ease and cost of installation against return. The information in this section is expanded upon further on the EnergySavingTrust website.
Recycle
Recycling is easy but takes commitment to make it work. Government regulations that have already come in, ones to come in the future, will force more households to consider recycling more efficiently.
Our Ratings System
​
We have developed a ratings system which (we hope) is easy to understand and helpful. Our website tries not only to offer useful links but also recommendations on what is the most efficient and economical way to obtain a greener lifestyle. In each case, the higher the score the better.
Fit for Purpose
Can the item do the job at hand? Is it proficient? This rating indicates the products suitability for the job at hand.
Environmentally Friendly
Does this item have a large carbon footprint? Does it include many chemicals. This rating indicates how green we believe the product to be.
Value for Money
One of the most important areas. It is so easy to spend more money for green products which are simply not as good as your old product. This rating examines the value of a product taking into account the price, life cycle costs, disposal costs and return on investment
Overall rating
Simply put, this takes into account the scores for the categories above and gives a overall score based on the above results.
