Reducing your carbon footprint starts at home and can include many things inc; cavity wall insullation, solar panels, wind turbines, economy appliances, low energy bulbs, double glazing etc. Although green products may initially come with a price tag, there's other simple ways to reduce your emissions, these inc; turning lights off in vacant rooms, switching off electrical appliances instead of them being on standby, turning down the temperature a few degrees on the washing machine, showing instead of bathing. These tips are to name a few! Great Post!

Personal lifestyle changes can only have an impact of a few percent at most. We cannot ignore the other 95 percent of the problem. Some have suggested that we can forget about caps and just focus on behavioural changes, which is insane. <a href="http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html"> http://selfdestructivebastards.blogspot.com/2009/10/voluntary-lifestyle-changes.html</a> Lifestyle changes are good, but they can only slow emissions growth slightly, they will not reduce emissions.

The thought crossed my mind... but I decided to conserve my energy - maybe I'll share my worktops and funny triple tap with the world now. Will look out those energy saving spotlights you mentioned... I love the tour, and that you bothered to do it.

Having posted my own blog about how the grander actions, wind turbine, composting toilet etc are tricky in a tiny victorian terrace, your solutions are definately do-able.
