As we live in such an unsettled world that it is not always easy to remember all the little things we could be doing to help protect our environment.
We can use this website to exchange ideas such as:
– New local, recycling outlets for our different types of waste,
– Ideas for repairing and reusing items
– Information about local food producers
– Tips for cutting down on energy use
We can set ourselves targets to improve our global impact such as:
– Hang out washing when the weather is good
– Walk or cycle on short journeys such as to the village shop
– Put on another jersey before turning up the heating
– Turn off lights and appliances when not in use
– Repair that top that’s gone at the seam.

Take a Bus
We have a very good bus service in Balmullo so why not use it?
To get us started I can recommend two useful websites:
www.zerowastescotland.org.uk a mine of information.
www.fife.gov.uk which is the Fife Council website, provides an A – Z of recycling. This tells you how to dispose of loads of items before resorting to landfill.
If you have any information, ideas or encouragement to add email secretary@balmullo.net
