A Green Home
- Turn Off the Lights
Helping to change the world isn’t that hard. It begins with small acts that become habits. As they gain momentum, soon you’re not doing just one thing; you’re revolutionizing your life in a way that can, in fact, save the planet.
So, just turn off the lights in rooms and unplug electric items when you are not using them. That also includes your computer at home and in the office.
- Eat More Veggies
While a meat-centered diet deepens our ecological footprint and contributes to pollution, a plant-centered diet requires fewer resources and supports long-term health. But you don’t have to go completely veggie to reap the benefits. One easy way to do it is to join the “Meat free Monday” movement and just cut out meat once a week if you are a dedicated carnivore.
- Greener Cleaners
As many as a third of Americans have an adverse reaction to common household chemicals. Safer products can save you money, too. While furniture polish will set you back about 4 euros, cleaning with distilled white vinegar and a few drops of olive oil costs mere cents.
- Efficient Water Flow
If you’re looking to save water – a precious resource we should all conserve – taking a shower rather than a bath is a good place to start: A bath uses between 30 to 70 gallons of water but the average shower uses only 17 gallons.
