It’s easy to go green at home when you have the right tools and tips. Reduce your energy consumption, conserve your resources, and support eco-friendly companies to leave a happier and healthier Earth for future generations.
1. Replace Old Lightbulbs
Swap your old, incandescent light bulbs for new and energy-efficient compact florescent lightbulbs. CFLs use 25-percent less electricity and last longer, which reduces your carbon footprint and saves you money.
2. Plant a Garden
Grow your own food to control exactly how much water and energy goes into your dinner. Fewer trips to the market means less gasoline consumption, and organic farming improves soil quality, both of which contribute to green and healthy living.
3. Insulate Your Home
Proper home insulation keeps your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which cuts back on energy consumption. Don’t forget to insulate your windows and electrical outlets, too.
4. Collect Rain Water
It takes a lot of energy to get water out of the source and into your home. Consider making a rain barrel to collect water for outdoor watering.
