Pledge a green living idea

August 04 2010

Co-operators are being asked for their ideas to help save the planet for Co-operatives UK's Greener Together project.

To help promote a greener lifestyle, the initiative has created a pledge generator on its website to share ethical ideas with the world.

Programme Manager Michelle Lockwood said: “We have received some fantastic ideas, including hanging soft curtains to trim five per cent off your heating bill, inviting friends over on a regular basis for a shared feast to swap food and reduce waste and thoroughly towel drying your hair to cut down on time spent using a hairdryer.

“It is great to see so many co-operative members logging on and generating some excellent pledges to help others live in a greener way.”
