Marco, Sue & Tula like to do it in the bathroom
They...
- use chemical free body care and cleaning products
- use recycled toilet paper
- take shorter showers saving water and energy
- use replaceable head toothbrushes
- flush the toilet with a bucket from the shower
Fit a water saving shower head and halve water consumption. You won't even notice the difference in water pressure.

Irene likes to do it at home"We use ENJO and very minimal water only (no chemicals)to clean everything in our home. We also use non chemical shampoos and ENJO body gloves to wash ourselves with, so that our grey water can be used safely on the garden, car, windows etc.

Richard likes to do it at home"I choose a reusable product, like a tupperware box, over a disposable one, like a freezer bag.

Angela likes to do it getting around"I take the bus to work in the morning and the train home at night. With the cost of petrol at an all time high I save as much as fifty dollars per week that I can put towards the cost of building my energy effifficent house. But the best result I have had has been the number of new friends that I look forward to seeing. In the afternoon I can have a twenty minute power nap on the train and wake up refreshed to take on the job of motherhood.
