If you live in the UK you are most likely to have been hit by the impressive snowfall. While enjoying some home comfort, I can’t help but listening to the green warrior within me emerging. Snow means cold, snow means water, that is, free cold and free water. What can I possibly do with snow, other than making snowmen (yes, I made that one!) and joining snowball fights in the street?
So here are my tips:
1. Put your fridge on holiday for a couple of days and save energy by moving your food in a bucket full of fresh snow. If you can safely put your stuff outside the window or on to the balcony, even better.
2. By turning off your fridge you can also perform some maintenance that will help keep it up and running more efficiently for longer. Turn it off, leave doors open for a few hours and let the ice melt inside the refrigerator. Click here for more on how to clean and defrost a fridge.
3. Fill as many buckets, pails and containers with snow and let it melt slowly for use in your home in the next few days, as it was non-drinkable water. You can use it to flush the toilet, water your plants, or clean the floor.
Have you got any others?
