Tip To Make Your Live Eco Friendly
Being a friend to the environment is everybody’s business. Here are some simple ways to give back to Mother Nature and lessen our impact to our surroundings.
We should never tire of giving each other eco tips and teaching everyone around us how simple going green can be. If everyone had the same mindset, that is to lessen our impact to the environment, we can all look forward to living in a healthier planet.
Here are the top 10 eco tips to living an eco-friendly life (and we promise that all of these are simple to do):
1. Use less plastic. Stay away from those ultra-convenient sandwich and shopping bags, and bring your own cloth bag or reusable grocery bags when doing your groceries. Resist the urge to buy new plastic cups for your upcoming party. Bring out the old glasses or go for paper cups.
2. Use less paper. When printing documents, do a print preview to be sure that you’re only printing what you need. Use both sides of each page, or write on clean sides. Go for recycled tissue paper, these require less virgin pulp thus saving more trees. Think about using recycled paper when wrapping gifts, or do away with paper wrappers altogether.
3. Start taking public transport to work. Give up two days in the week to do so. Do a car pool with co-employees who live near you. This will save fuel costs and help reduce CO2 emissions. Remember, fewer cars on the road means less harmful emissions.
4. Stop using chemical pesticides. Look for organic alternatives, or use compost. These toxic chemicals are harmful not just to the environment, but to you and the people around you.
5. Help your water heater. Have insulation installed around your hot water heater, and insulate the pipes connected to it. These ‘jackets’ only cost between $10 and $20, but will help keep water warm longer.
6. Plant a tree. This not only beautifies the environment, but will help shield your home from strong winds and extreme heat.
7. Have your HVAC checked regularly. Heating and cooling your home takes a lot of energy, and if your systems aren’t working right, you can waste a lot of energy. Have a professional check out your HVAC every two years; this will also serve as preventive maintenance.
8. Fix leaky faucets or pipes. Avoid unnecessary water wastage around the house.
9. Use a broom instead of a garden hose when cleaning the yard. Hosing down the pavement means wasting gallons of water when the same effect can be achieved by sweeping up the leaves.
10. Purchase Energy Star appliance. These use up to 50% less energy than old or conventional appliances.
There are more eco tips available if we do more research and consult the experts.
