Get a Smart Meter

If you don’t have a smart meter and a home energy display, ask your energy supplier to have one fitted in your home. Save money on your energy bill by using it to get to know how your home uses energy, setting and tracking your progress against daily energy budgets, and see how low you can get your energy consumption.

Eat everything edible

Cut your food bill and reduce food waste by planning your next meal around what’s already in your kitchen.

Surprise yourself with new and existing recipes by typing your left-over ingredients into your favourite online search engine. If you already have high-carbon items in your fridge such as meat and dairy, prioritise eating these first.
