We humans
are the greatest beings on this planet and we have the power to change the
world. So, why do not we just turn eco-friendly in every way possible and
contribute to a sustainable environment. And, since everything starts from
home, let us first try to make our very homes eco-friendly. Trust me, this will
not just help prevent environmental degradation but will also help you save
money. Now, going eco-friendly is not just limited to planting trees. Of
course, adding more and more greenery to our homes is one way to make them
eco-friendly, but besides that, there are several other ways to make the homes
eco-friendly as well. And that’s what I am going to talk about in this post
that is how to make your eco friendly and do your part in helping the
environment.
So, come,
let us discuss some of the most common eco-friendly ways we can take up to
contribute to sustaining our mother Earth as well as saving our expenses.
Save water
One of the
very first things that you should do is to save water. Avoid wasting water at
any cost. For that, make necessary changes in your lifestyle if needed. Also,
make it a point to fix any water leaks immediately.
Go for energy efficient light bulbs
Investing in
the right light bulbs is one of the best ways to make your home eco-friendly.
The CFLs are much better alternatives to the aged incandescent bulbs. The
energy efficient bulbs not just use less electricity but are also more long
lasting. So, it is high time to switch to them.
Use natural cleaning products
All of the
chemical-based products you use are harmful for your environment. So, it is a
request that you switch to using natural cleaning products that are
eco-friendly, efficient as well as very cheap for house cleaning . For day to
day cleaning tasks, use vinegars, baking soda, lemon juice etc. These are the
powerful natural ingredients that you can use for day to day cleaning, pest control and even to get rid of bad odors.
Create your own compost
Avoid
wasting your kitchen scraps and leftover foods and instead turn them into
compost. All you need to do is to place a compost bin in your yard and throw
food waste there.
By recycled products
It is good
if you buy recycled products whenever possible. This will include everything
starting from kitchen rolls to your toilet tissue.
Insulate
One of the
smartest ways to turn your home eco-friendly is by consuming as little energy
as possible. And, for that, you can invest in insulation. Good insulation helps
in holding in the heat which means you do not have to burn energy by reheating
your home all the time.
Area rugs
are also a good way to insulate your home and prevent the escape of air through
the cracks on the floors. They contribute to designing your space as well. So,
do consider them.
Over to
you
Our
environment is degrading and we can save that from happening. There is still
time. For that, the very first thing we need to do is to turn our very homes
eco-friendly. Little things like switching to energy efficient bulbs, using
natural products, buying recycled products to saving water etc. can make some
huge difference. So, do contribute your own bit and set an example for the rest
to follow.
Thank you in
advance for the good work.
