1. When they’re available I try to.
2. Yes, as well as buy in bulk to reduce redundant packaging.
3. Yes, through energy-efficient means.
4. A BIG yes!
5. No, it’s not my place to judge others.
6. Only no non-consumable products, because for now, the process isn’t still perfected and their have been reports of toxins “leaking” into the products, and/or toxins being re-introduced into the product when it’s being re-processed for distribution.
7. Definitely.
Part 2:
8. Yes.
9. On certain topics, yes I am the “guide” or reference
, this can include technology, science, things green, etc.

1. Yes, although only if I feel the trade-off on cost or performance is in line with the benefits accrued.
2. Definitely. Always look for paper and board when I can, hate gift packaging, turn down bags at the check-out and use things like jars and boxes again rather than drop them in the recycling
3. Yes. Check and adjust the thermostat down daily. Have double glazing, loft insulation and cavity wall insulation installed since moving into my home. Energy efficient light bulbs whenever I can and nothing left on stand-by if I can help it.
4. Haven’t made any appliance purchases recently, but am looking at new washing machine graded A for energy efficiency.
5. Yes, but on the basis of what I understand or find rather than waht pressure groups tell me. I am also realistic about how quickly certain things can be achieved, so provided companies move in the right direction I will keep the faith.
6. Yes, whenever I can.
7. Yes, religously. Try to avoid or minimise waste first.
8. Yes, although I should maintain it better!
9. Kind of, both professionally and personally. Not sure I always help to bring about change, but people know I have green stuff running through my veins
