It's teeny being green (if you're a vacuum cleaner)
It's probably true to say of most gadgets that the smaller they are, the greener they are likely to be, and let's face it, unless you've got a family of five you're not going to be needing a giant, dust-guzzling beast every time you want to do a bit of hoovering.
That's why I'm a fan of this cute little vacuum cleaner from Morphy Richards, which is part of the new 'essentials mini' collection aimed at single-person households; all of which is worth checking out if you want to downsize your life and lessen your impact. As well as being tiny, the vacuum cleaner pictured here has an 'eco switch' that puts it into a power saving mode for lighter jobs. It's affordable too, at just £29.99 from Morphy Richards.
