Ok it’s that time again for the Saturday Six and this week I’ve gone green, not like the Hulk, but green as in the environment. So without any further ado here’s this weeks six:
- Do you recycle?
- Have you fitted any energy saving light bulbs?
- If you don’t have far to go, do you walk or still use your car?
- Have you turned down your thermostats by one degree?
- Do you leave your TV etc on standby or turn it off at the wall?
- Do you wash your clothes on a 30 setting or higher?
As usual you can either answer the questions here or copy the questions on to your blog with a link back here (and leave a link in the comments).

HI
ok here are my 5
1. oh yes … we have 4 wheely bins per household here
2. In some rooms yes but I find the light is not as strong …
3. 2 minute walk for the train and 1.5 mile walk at othe other end (it wasn’t a green decision but a conjestion one)
4. On standby I am afraid .. I need to sort that one
5. mostly 30 degrees but teens with makeup on collars does need a hotter wash
so all in all I am semi green but could definitely do better
lmao … I am having such a blonde morning …. doh there are 6 ……….
the thermostat question …. depends how cold it is but I have recently had a new boiler installed so I feel that is more green than the old boy it replaced

@Jaclyn: Thanks for posting on your blog
@70steen: I have one of those days every once in a while
1. Yes
2. No
3. We don’t own a car
4. I usually keep it set at 65 or 66 in the winter (60 at night while we are asleep) – doing that for years, so no change
5. Electronics get shut off when not in use
6. Ihave no idea what a 30 setting is – I wash clothes in cold water, always have.

Washing on cold is very, very Green, nice one
1. Reluctantly
2. No – hate them – really bad light
3. Walk – well hobble – obviously – tee hee
4. From what? – we don’t go mad
5. On standby – this IS something I am going to try and change
6. Low I think – I do try and avoid the washing machine as it seems to have taken a dislike to me

Turning down your house temperature by one degree is supposed to be good for the environment, but not so good for us to keep warm
It seems nearly everyone I talk to leaves things on Standby, but my argument is modern flat TV’s go to standby when you press the on/off switch!
1. Yes we recycle a lot
2. Yes most of our light bulbs are CFL
3. I am fond of walking
4. I do not use thermostats or airconditioner
5. I turn off the TV completely after watching. I actually don’t watch TV too much
6. I just use tap water at room temp to wash my clothes
