Simple Ways to green Your Home
Alright, its time for another episode of tips to make your home greener and more environment friendly. Remember, the key is to start simply and not get over ambitious. Even if you only change one thing, it will still have a good overall effect!
1.Leave throws and blankets in plain sight, especially when it gets colder. When you use a blanket or a throw instead of turning up the heat, you’re doing the environment a favor.
2. When shopping for new furniture, consider sources like the Salvation army or secondhand shops. If you’re not really keen on using someone’s old stuff, go to stores that promote eco-friendly practices.
3. When getting rid of old furniture, don’t destroy it. Offer it up on Ebay or Craigslist. You’re encouraging someone else to recycle!
4. Pull out the plugs- do you know that your appliances still continue to use energy even when they’re turned off but still plugged? You save so much more energy when you pull out the plugs!
5. If it’s available in your area, choose to go with renewable energy sources such as win, solar or hydro-electric!
