The P+G Everyday Waste Savers campaign is a great one, I am all for sustaining the resources we have in the world, I like it when it actually saves me money too.
I think for a lot of people its not just about recycling to do your bit for green living,its about sustaining the worlds resources. Its been levelled at me,by friends, that it costs more to be green and buy green products,but I am finding it actually is more cost effective for my purse,turning down the thermostat, using green products and great products like lemon,vinegar and bicarb is cheaper and often less money.
Now the big brands are wising up and helping me and others to save money.
You may remember, I took part in the Ariel’s ‘Turn to 30’ campaign – I actually wash at this temperature all the time,with a good washing powder it has no effect on my clothes but saves energy and money.
The Everyday Waste Savers campaign is run by Ariel, Flash and Fairy and supported by leading sustainability experts the Energy Saving Trust, Waste Watch and Waterwise, which aims to help households save hundreds of pounds each year, by sharing easy, innovative ways to do everyday things that also help us to be a bit greener too.
But did you know there are lots of ways to clean at lower temperatures in order to save energy and money? Mrs Moneypenny, the star of Channel 4 show Superscrimpers, has also joined P+G to help inspire people to save money by being a bit more environmentally friendly.
Figures show that every home can save an average of £100 off their annual energy bills and a further £50 off their water bills, just by doing a few simple things such as switching off at the plugs, turning down the thermostat and not filling the kettle up for one cuppa – significant savings at a time when we’re all watching our pennies.
Furthermore, 24% of a household’s heating bill is from heating hot water, costing, on average, £150. Stats show that about a third of water usage is wasted – money down the drain every day.

Through this campaign P+G and Mrs Moneypenny are looking to inspire and enable people to contribute to a cleaner, greener future whilst also saving money. For example, the cleaning power of P+G brands, Ariel, Flash and Fairy, can save up to 30% on energy usage, which can add up to significant monetary savings:
·
By turning from 40° to 30° with Ariel
·
When using "Short Cycles" with Fairy Dishwashing tablets (50°/55° /Eco dishwasher cycles instead of intensive cycles)
·
When using cold 20° water instead of 40° hot water with Flash
