7 Ways To Make Your Home More Sustainable

1. Opt For Thick Curtains

Sleek blinds can be quite fashionable in your home, however opting for thicker curtains can be a great energy saver by keeping rooms cooler and darker in those hot summer months.

2. Invest In Your Light bulbs

There have been some great improvements in energy efficient light bulbs so not only do they use less electricity, they also don’t need to be replaced as often as regular bulbs.

3. Solar, Solar, Solar!

If you’re really wanting your home to be eco-friendly, installing solar panels is an essential feature. Both environmentally and financially beneficial, solar panels are a great first step in ensuring your home is more sustainable.

4. Recycled Furniture

Not only is buying recycled furniture becoming a 2022 trend, your purchase is also an incredibly thoughtful one, by saving materials that would have otherwise ended up in landfill.

5. Think Green When You Clean

Some everyday cleaning products can be detrimental to the environment once they are washed down drains and go into the water supply, where a lot more energy is needed to purify the water again. Try switching to plant based cleaners or steam cleaners to disinfect and kill germs in your home!

6. Compost

You can use a compost bin to discard any leftover food scraps, and over time it will turn into useful compost for your garden.

7. Low-Flow Tap Fixtures

You will save more energy and water if you opt for a low-flow shower head.
