Water,

Example – 2 Rain water tanks that hold roughly 75 Litres of water each

Positive – the water that the rain water tanks collect can be used for things like drinking, cooking and cleaning, this is a positive because instead of using other water we can use the rain water instead so its not wasteful

Negative – It can be hard to harvest sufficient quantities because it is reliant on the rain

Improvements – In my house hold we use a lot of water in cooking if we cut down on that we could reduce water and also shower lengths, I could have my shower lengths to about 3 mins rather then 5-6 mins.

Energy

Example – Air fryer

Positive – they are more energy efficient then things live ovens or microwaves

Negative – Takes lots of water to clean out and easy to burn food

Improvements – making sure to turn lights off when not in a room or the TV if no-one is watching it

Recycling

Example – 10c Bin

Positive – having a bin for drink containers in return for 10c

Negative – Carelessly throwing away rubbish by not separating rubbish and throwing without knowing which bin to put things in

Improvements – Separating rubbish and putting it into the correct bin so that you do not put something easily recyclable into landfill

Food

Example – Compost tumbler

Positive – Faster composting and good use of old food scraps

Negative – too much food not being used or being thrown away

Improvements – Use more food in cooking rather then buying more food and then using that
