Some tips from me:

only put the amount of water in the jug to boil that you are going to use – this saves electricity and time and money for you.  It also saves water as many people still empty the jug before refilling it!

don't drink bottled water – it is less healthy than our tap water, and the amount of resources that are required to make a bottle of water is astounding ("story of stuff" online is a good place to look).  Then there is the land fill problem created by the empties.  Again, by having your own reusable bottle, you are saving yourself time and money.

use reusable cleaning products in your home – there are great microfibre technologies available that work better than chemicals and last for a long time.  Again, you save time and money. No landfill, low embedded energy, less water (no rinsing chemicals or bicarb off), healthier for you adn your family.
