1. Unplug and power
down at night.
Your appliances could use a rest too! Powering down at night
will save tons of energy and wasted dollars on your electric bill. (Sleep mode
doesn't count!)
2. Conserve that
precious H20.
Don't be one of those annoying tooth brushers who leaves the
water on. Turning off the tap will save you about eight gallons of water a day!
3. Switch to cloth
napkins.
Eco-friendly cloth napkins will not only save you money but
also make you look WAY fancy and sophisticated.
4. Start composting.
Composting has loads of benefits, including improving
landfills and soil quality. It's also a cheap and easy way to get rid of your
biodegradable waste.
5. Make your own
cleaning products.
Counters looking grimy? Common household ingredients like
baking soda and white vinegar can often do the trick.
6. Use energy-efficient
lightbulbs.
Using compact fluorescent lightbulbs prevents tons of
greenhouse gases. Going green can brighten up your world, and your home!
7. Plant trees and
shrubs around your house.
Plants not only improve the air but also provide some cool
shading on your home so you can save on AC in the summer.
8. Seal your windows
and doors to prevent cool drafts.
Winter can bring a drafty breeze. Seal your windows and
doors to save on heating costs and emissions.
9. Collect rainwater
in a bucket for watering plants.
Rainwater is free! Create eco-friendlier garden by filling
your buckets when it rains to use later on for plants.
10. Bundle up (or
cuddle up) before you consider cranking up the heat.
Think twice before you adjust the thermostat; it'll help the
planet and your electric bill.
11. Get some good
reusable kitchenware instead of using disposables.
Cut down on trash in landfills with reusable kitchenware.
It'll make for an easy and environmentally-friendly cleanup!
