Save money and help the environment with the
Future Friendly range of products
With household budgets stretched further
and further, finding new ways to reduce waste and save money is more important
than ever. And Future Friendly products can help you do just that. Not only do
they help you save energy or water, or reduce waste, they’re also great value
for money.
Inspiration
for the future
P&G, the company behind many well-known
household products, is committed to finding sustainable solutions. That’s why
the products in its Future Friendly programme aim to inspire and enable
consumers to reduce waste, save energy and help the environment. Products such
as Ariel and Fairy that meet Future Friendly standards have cut back by at
least 10% on resources used in the manufacturing process or in use by the
consumer. By choosing these products – and carrying out your own inspired
little acts – you can become Future Friendly, too.
You could save $21 a year and 65kg of CO2
by drying clothes outside instead of using the tumble dryer.
Tips on how to be Future Friendly…
Turn your thermostat down. Reducing your
room temperature by 10C could cut your heating bills by 10% - and
typically saves around $74 a year!
Fill the washing machine, tumble dryer or
dishwasher – a full load use less energy than two half loads.
Don’t forget to turn off the tap while or
brushing your teeth. A running tap wastes over six liters a minute.
Take fewer baths! If every member of a
family of your replaces one bath a week with a five-minute shower, the family
could save up to $28 a year on energy bills – up to $26 on water bills if they
have a water meter.
Use energy-saving bulbs. They last up to 10
times longer than ordinary bulbs, and can save you around $68 over the lifetime
of the bulb (around 10,000 hours for a 20W CFC bulb).
