GOING GREEN

Top 50 hacks to be more eco-friendly include shorter showers and reusing teabags

SHORTER showers, reusing teabags and renting children's toys are among the top 50 hacks Brits are adopting to be green.

A survey of 2,000 adults revealed 94% are making an effort to be eco-friendly, by doing things like installing solar panels, using energy efficient light bulbs and carpooling.

Collecting rainwater for plants, making wax wraps and turning ripe fruits into jams are among the more obscure methods.

Line drying towels and clothes, buying loose fruit and veg, and turning off the tap when tooth brushing are also popular ways of tackling climate change.

One in 20 adults have even bought an air source heat pump to heat their home differently.

While 85% say becoming more sustainable, and taking deliberate action to help fight climate change, has become very important to them.
