10 Great Ways to Conserve Energy
It’s that time of year again. You’ve eaten your way through your summer wardrobe, the kids have succeeded in destroying your computer before you managed to backup the presentation you’ve been working on all week and is due on Monday morning. Your mother-in-law just phoned to say she’ll be coming for the weekend, the forecast is rain, sleet and thunderstorms yet it is over 40 degrees centigrade in the shade and yes the guy who promised to come and fix your air-conditioner has been arrested by immigration. What better time to ask what you can to to help conserve energy. Yes I’m glad you asked. Here are 10 ideas.

1. Use both sides of your toilet paper.
2. If you have a blonde neighbour with the figure of Demi Moore, this is the time to offer to conserve water by sharing a bath with her. If your neighbour is actually Demi Moore don’t try this one. Ashton is known to pull quite a punch.
3. Car pooling. Share the blonde’s car to work every day – even if she does keep trying to push you out. For my female readers – yes the hulk from across the road will do fine.
4. don’t use deodorant – join facebook group – “we’re smelly and not ashamed to say so”
5. Reuse lunch bags.
6. Reuse lunch – not for the faint of heart.
7. Recycle the old playboy and penthouse magazines, that you keep under the bed and think your wife doesn’t know about but she actually keeps her toys under there, they are sure to make your kids laugh.
8. Eat grass. It’s cheap, it’s nutritious, it’s easy to obtain. It works fine for rabbits. (FCC clarification. We suggested you eat the grass not smoke it. We are law abiding citizens who are trying to make the world a better place to live in and resent your accusations. The tip you got regarding stuff stuffed in our freezer proved to be completely unfounded.)
9. Recycle your junk mail. For every single junk mail you receive send back 20. That should teach them what recycling is all about.
10. Don’t have children, the’re really bad for the environment. It’s so much cheaper and practical to rent some.
