Energy Saving tips, techniques and advice we have tried, tested and researched in our own home
The energy saving house Why is energy saving important to us? With the rising costs of gas, electricity, fuel and food we need to look at ways to reduce our energy bills, waste and our carbon footprint.

We have looked at ways to reduce our own energy bills and tried and tested some of the saving energy tips and techniques and to evaluate which products are worth investing in.

The things that we have tried include simple home energy saving tips, solar power, green cleaning, recycling and growing our own vegetables. We own an electric car and have been involved in the electric vehicle industry for the past five years. We have completed a self build house project for which we wanted the home to be as energy efficient as possible.

We have spent time researching Global Warming and whether Global Warming is a hoax. We keep up to date with environmental news in the World.

We have included as much as possible within the site, if you have any comments or suggestions, please use the contact us form.

Save money with energy saving tips
Why energy saving?

Did you know the waste for the average family home is between 25-35% of the total energy used?

Whether you want to make savings on money or want to do your bit to help the environment, it just makes sense.

If you can save just 20% of the energy you use, you'll make a saving of hundreds of pounds a year - and significantly reduce your impact on the natural environment.

Below you will find links to some of the main areas which we have tried, tested or researched.
Effects of Deforestation
In many areas forests are being cleared, this is causing problems for humans, animals and global warming. Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is one of the worst effected areas.

Find out what the effects of deforestation are why land is being cleared and how some countries are saving the forests.
Energy Saving Tips
These include some simple tips which can be used in both the home and in work, with a few which may be new to you. Home energy savings are important as they can both reduce your Carbon footprint and your energy bill.
Global Warming Hoax
We have spent a lot of time researching the argument for Global Warming Hoax, as many people have questioned whether Global Warming is really happening and is it down to our own carbon emissions. Discover the truth behind some of the comments
Water Saving
Even with the heavy rainfall in the UK, we still need to look at saving water. Clean water is a limited resource - and now with most people on meters, we pay for what we use. There are some water saving devices which can be used in the home and garden to reduce your water consumption.
Solar Power
Solar power has many uses, both which can reduce your energy bills and also produce solar where an electricity supply is not available. We have even written our own book - The Solar Electricity Handbook.
Green Cleaning
It is possible and effective making your own green cleaning products using simple ingredients in your kitchen. We have included some of our own recipes, including one for the dishwasher.

There are also some Eco friendly cleaning products available to buy ready to use.
Car Fuel Saving
Is it really possible to reduce your car fuel by changing your driving technique to eco driving? We also look at alternative fuel and transport, including the electric car.
Electric Cars
We own a G-Wiz electric car and run the G-Wiz forums, which includes use of the car and how to service it yourself. We are going to be part of the Cabled trial in the Midlands with a Mitsubishi electric car.
Recycling
Recycling is important to reduce the amount of waste sent to land fill. The home recycling is now improving in some councils, but what else can be done?

DIY energy saving projects
There are lots of ways to make your own renewable energy for your own home: solar heating, solar lighting, even a wind turbine on the roof! Some of these projects can cost a lot of money and have questionable pay back - both in terms of environmental benefits and saving money.

Yet there are a number of DIY energy saving projects that will cost you only a few pounds and help make a big difference - improving your standard of living and improving your carbon footprint. Now that really is efficient energy saving!
