Bishops become eco warriors

Recently we found this fantastic article in the Sunday Mail which talks about how you can save money AND reduce your carbon footprint.

The beauty about techniques the Bishop family implemented is that anyone can do them. Simple steps they took included:

  • Turning off lights when leaving the room
  • Switching to energy efficient light bulbs
  • Switching to a front load washing machine
  • Installing a greywater tank for gardening

While we can't install greywater tanks for the gardens, we do have a greening service where we can help you save money on your bills, or you can contact us to organise for one of our friendly technicians to come to your place.
