Top 10 Eco-Friendly Tips
You may already know a lot about what to do to be eco-friendly. See if you tick all the boxes.
Try to reduce their carbon footprint by choosing different types of transportation, energy consumption, eating habits (foods) and products that are more eco-friendly.
Simplify your lifestyle.
1. Say no to spam. Remove your name from the mailing lists. Stick a “no junk mail” sign on your mail box.
2. Receive and pay your bills electronically.
3. Turn off your electronics when not in use. Even when your TV or computer is off, it is still using power. Unplug all your electronic devices.
4. Use less disposable items. Try eating ice cream in a cone, rather than a cup. Use your travel mug when buying coffee. Don’t forget your reusable shopping bags.
5. Take shorter showers. Try reducing your shower time by five minutes, or better yet, take a five minute shower. Just cutting two minutes from your shower time can save ten gallons of water.
6. Collect and save water. Put containers with removable covers outside to collect rainwater that you can use to water your lawn, flower beds and gardens.
7. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. One can save four times the amount of energy than a regular bulb. Energy-efficient CFLs can also last up to ten times longer than traditional ones.
8. Reuse your clothes. What you wear each day can often be worn for more than one day. Not only will you save water and detergent but also the time it takes to do that extra load of laundry.
9. Recycle whenever and whatever you can.
10. Walk or bike whenever possible. Take the bus or carpool if one of these is not practical.
It is never too late to start living your life and create habits that are in favour of the environment and in balance with the earth’s natural ecology. Take small steps and change one or two things at a time. Shift towards more renewable energy, sustainable travel and business, eco-friendly products, green technology and sustainable designs.
The nature
Our nature
We call it
Mother
We use water
From the nature
As a child uses milk
From his mother
We are covered by the sky
Like a mother hugs her boy
