5 Top Tips on how to be eco friendly AND save money

2) Swap things you need with family and friends – for example, clothes swap parties are a fun, green way to revamp your wardrobe – much more eco friendly than shopping on the high street.

3) Why not try growing your own organic food? Organic herbs and salads are easy to get started with, and you don't need much space – a sunny windowsill will do. Or look out for seasonal fruit and vegetables at local organic markets.

4) Rather than always buying something new, see if there's anything you already have that can be altered instead. There's lots of help online with eco friendly ways to upcycle old things into new ones.

5) You can keep your home fresh and healthy with some natural alternatives - the natural cleaning chart has lots of good ideas. In wardrobes lavender freshens and deters moths. Cleaning the kitchen with lemon juice is anti-bacterial and very effective at freshening the air. And as I mentioned, I'm a real fan of the Pierre d’ Argent natural cleaning clay for effective and economical eco cleaning.
