Climate week 4th-10th March - Are you getting involved?

 

 

What Climate Week is

Climate Week is Britain’s biggest climate change campaign, inspiring a new wave of action to create a sustainable future.

Culminating in a week of activities, it showcases practical solutions from every sector of society.

Each year, half a million people attend 3,000 events in Britain’s biggest ever environmental occasion. Events are run by schools, businesses, charities, councils and many others.

You can help accelerate action on climate change by making Climate Week happen where you are.



How you can get involved

There are many ways you can help the environment including doing things more sustainably at home.

You can reduce the water you use when you flush the toilet
Take a quick shower instead of a bath
Turn off lights and electronics when not in use rather than leave them on standby
Insulate your home with curtains and draught excluders
Recycle
Wash laundry at 30 degrees instead of 40

How we are getting involved
 

We received a bundle of goodies from Andrex, who have created a new Eco toilet tissue which is still soft and affordable but made from 90% recycled fibre and 10% natural bamboo. We are hoping to cut costs and help the planet this week and every week after. The small daily changes can make such a big difference and you can join in too.

 

We have added a Hippo Water Saver to our cisterns to save 2-3 litres per flush

We have added an extra bin to our bathroom for recycling

We have put a Efergy shower timer in the shower

We are using Andrex Eco

Andrex Washlets - Win a pamper hamper!

The Mini Mes and Me has teamed up with Andrex® Washlets, a pre-moistened flushable toilet tissue wipe, to help you feel fresh, energised and prepared for any occasion this January. Andrex® Washlets are a great essential to keep you feeling fresh at all times, even when you run out of time to get ready.  So whether you are heading from a child’s birthday party to a dinner, or from January sales shopping to a school play, use Andrex® Washlets to help you feel fresh when out and about. 

Andrex® Washlets is working with TV presenter, documentary maker and writer Dawn O’Porter, on the Clean Campaign that aims to inspire people up and down the country to try Andrex® Washlets and incorporate them into their family’s daily bathroom regime. 

We received some to review and we were pleasantly surprised by how soft they felt and moist they were without being overly damp. They are also mildly, yet nicely fragranced leaving you feeling fresh and clean. The Washlets come in resealable packs making them handy for your handbag or in a close-able tub that is easy for little ones to open at home and therefore ideal for toilet training toddlers too!

To celebrate the Clean Campaign and to help you feel fresh this winter, Andrex® Washlets is offering one lucky reader the chance to win a fabulous pampering gift set, complete with a bath relaxation pack, hand cream, lip balm, hand sanitizer, hairbrush and Andrex® Washlets.
