We’re all looking at ways to cut down on our energy costs this winter.  We’ve been marvelling at Green Dragon –Farm Grown Fuel. Made from 100% British rapeseed husk, this is what remains of rapeseed after the oil has been pressed out. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away, 100% of the seed is used, leaving no waste. It is a completely natural, constantly renewable and a much greener alternative to wood, coal and other solid fuels. It burns 3 x longer than the average log and with amazing bright orange flickering flames. The briquettes are easy and clean to handle, produces 2 x the amount of heat of some natural wood and leaves behind only 7% ash.

 With constantly-changing climate patterns, more people than ever are investing in domestic dehumidifiers to deal with issues ranging from damp and allergies to controlling heating bills. Because a dehumidifier removes damp from the atmosphere, can it help prevent damage to furniture and allow laundry to dry faster, a dehumidifier can also help those suffering with breathing difficulties and makes the air easier to warm in winter thus reducing heating bills.

Nothing wastes gas more than putting a small pan on a large gas hob and watching the gas come licking up the side of the pan. This clever, simple gadget, The Gas Energy Saver, solves this problem by containing the gas flame and burning the gas more efficiently by converting unburnt gas to heat and energy and in turn saves heating time by cooking your food faster with less gas. Its special catalytic alloy disc fits over a burner on your hob and heats to over 1000 degrees centigrade instantly. The special stainless alloy is dishwasher proof and measures 14cm x 1cm, fits most gas hobs.Retails at £6.25 available from:http://www.mygreenerhome.co.uk/eco-appliances-8/gas-energy-saver-400.html
