Four weeks doesn’t sound like a long time, but by making small changes every day for a month you will be able to tackle the task of Going Green with ease. Follow these easy to implement ideas for your home...
Week 4:
Day 22: Start a lift club.
- Sharing is caring especially when it comes to transportation. When neighbours and co-workers ride together, everyone benefits.
Day 23: Read the ingredients.
- Knowledge is power. Knowing what's in the products you buy will help you understand their impact on the environment.
Day 24: Use less.
- When you are able to use only what you need, you help reduce unnecessary waste. Keep a journal of your food, petrol and material consumption to better understand where you can cut back.
Day 25: Go outside.
- Enjoy the great outdoors more. Plan a hike or picnic instead of languishing indoors. When you use outdoor spaces more you use less energy to heat or cool the inside of your home.
Day 26: Go low flow.
- Purchase low flow shower heads, taps and toilets to conserve water.
Day 27: Support tree huggers.
- Stay informed and involved with local and national environmental efforts. Find out how you can support greening initiatives in your area.
Day 28: Spread the word.
- Share your environmental advances with friends and co-workers. When going green, it's great to have your own support network of ‘greenies’.
Now that you are on your way to going green, make sure that you stay informed about advances and new ideas to become even more environmentally aware. HOMEMAKERSonline will regularly publish articles on how you can save the environment in your home.
