If you haven’t used if for 12 months, and it doesn’t hold any specific sentimental value, get rid of it … in an eco-friendly way, of course. Try eBay or donating the unwanted items to charity. However, don’t inundate charities with junk. Responsible recycling is an option for many items. For e-waste, I recommend e-cycle recovery. They will charge you to dump your e-waste but they will dispose of it in the most environmentally responsible manner, and ensure that heavy metals and other contaminants that are embedded in circuit boards, hard drives and CRT TVs are properly handled. Do the right thing: declutter your space, but do it responsibly.

I normally avoid recommending specific brands of products, but when it comes to compact fluorescent light globes, I am happy to suggest Philips Genie warm-white range. Their globes don't flicker, don't take ages to provide full light, and last for ... well a long time ... as I have never had one stop working. If all compact fluorescent globes behaved as well as these, there would be a lot less negativity associated with them.  

I appreciate that caravan interiors have a reputation for being totally uncool, but this needn't be the case. The interior shown in the above image, by Home Base Collections, shows how simply furnishing a caravan interior with gorgeous fabrics and accessories can turn dreary into desirable without a huge budget.

The Brionvega Cuboglass looks more stylish switched off than when it is on. It simply looks like a well designed and detailed mirrored glass box. More an object of art than a television. It is beautiful.
