There are many people who would like to contribute to the sustainable living but they get hold off since they do not know how. Recycling is no longer counted as a contribution, rather it is a must. Although green living requires change of mind/ habits, it is only by doing that you can bring up the change. So roll up your sleeves and see if you can apply these 10 tips today:
- Defrost your fridge/ keep it running at low level freeze/ ensure it is not overloaded so the air circulates
- Turn down your water heater to temperature below 40°C
- Check and reduce the cycle of your washing machine (I keep them under 1hour)
- Do not buy more harsh and toxic household cleaning products/ cosmetics
- Eat as much fresh food as you can/ avoid frozen and processed food with preservatives that have a large footprint
- Eliminate or reduce meat and dairy products consumption - it will improve your health
- Shop local, buy local and bio/ organic as much as you can
- Stop buying bottled water - your tap water is safer and more environmentally friendly
- Avoid running excess water when brushing your teeth or dish washing
- Influence people around you and tell them about benefits of going green
