This "saving money" section, with the wonderful "How to thrive on non-EHU" thread and some others, is ever more concentrating on such things as solar power, which is truly valuable and I'm not alone in learning a lot, for which I'm grateful to those posting here.
I'd like the CMC to start a new section devoted to issues of going greener, which is not necessarily the same as saving money, but often ends up that way in the long run. I'll ask them, but am not holding my breath!
Meanwhile I'd like to ask the collective wisdom and experience here: with Solar power already getting a good airing, what other ways are you aware of / already practising, which can help us with a more ecologically friendly approach to caravanning or MH-ing?
We're still only months into our caravanning career, so have lots to learn. I've already learned a lot which wasn't obvious at first sight, things which the website we're all on here certainly doesn't shout about, but there must be a whole lot more tips and techniques we're unaware of. I'm confident we're not the only ones who would like to make our holidays more eco-friendly, without wearing hair shirts.
I do realise the very idea of a box on wheels which you drag/drive round the country isn't in itself very green, and look forward to the time when cleaner, effective vehicles are more available and more affordable, but for the time being, I'm hoping for ideas of what's practicable now, please.
They can be high tech, or low tech, just things which work, and make a positive difference.
Thanks.
