DO ONE THING

Boiling by the cup

What this means: This means that you have to have the sort of kettle marked in cups.Always judge how much water you will need to boil and only boil that much.
How it saves the environment: If everyone boiled a few fewer cupsful of water, it would save an enormous amount of electrical energy. This, in turn, would help to reduce global warming and the damage that that is creating.
How it will save your sanity: You will get your cup of tea or coffee much more quickly and not have to put up with all that waiting. The kettle will not be so heavy to haul about.

Right. Now it's up to you. Just choose one thing - either one of these or one you have thought of - and do it for a week. If you notice the difference, don't forget to mention it here. There is a discussion section after this article for feedback.

Good luck.

It's been a while since I've stopped by the Suite; glad to see you're still here!
