Enigin Energy Saving & Cycling to work
So my two issues this week is the commute and energy use!
So I’m fed up of being squished in the train on the way to work and decided to dust off the old 2 wheeled runabout and have started to bike into work again.
Its an old sit up and beg bike, with a bell, panniers and a couple of gears. The bell comes in very useful when getting all of those flyboy idiots on their carbon frames out of my way.
It also makes me smile, which is always a good thing,. So I go around dinging my bell all the time, Great fun.
However, this is the best way to be green in the city, and I get an enourmous feeling of self-righteousness when I cruise past all the fat slobs in cars, pumping god only knows what into our already over polluted atmosphere, and all those queuing for a bus, who, in the same way, are doing pretty much the same thing.
I mean really, if we all cycled in, how much nicer would that be? We’d all be smiling and talking with each other, we would be less stressed, happier, and we wouldnt be stuck on a tube in 45 degree heat, which, by the way is too hot for CATTLE to be transported in to a slaughter house.
Apart from making me smile, cycling into work is a great way to ensure that I ALWAYS get a seat.
Work
So the other thing that I would like to do is get my work to try and reduce their energy out put. I realised early on that they don’t really care about the health of the world - however they do care about their pockets - and that is where I will get them in the end! There is this company called Enigin that offer to save you up to 40% on your energy bills if you get them in to sort out your usage. It makes sense - you save money which is your main motivation, but also you save the enviroment! I read this Enigin article which talks about the whole money vs green stuff, and it is really good.
Anyway thats enough from me for now. Get back on your bike, and turn your TV off from Standby mode and save money!
