What I do to help Planet Earth:
I’m slowly building (very slowly) an energy efficient house. It also incorporates where possible reclaimed, but new building materials, that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.
for example I have around 24 doors, but only two are the same size and type!
I also like to plant native trees, particularly oak trees. I plant them in hedge rows, when no-one is looking.
