Improvement Inside And Out
Turning Green Choices Into Habits
Reducing, reusing, repairing, and recycling are the four most
important actions when it comes to adopting a greener lifestyle because they all
contribute to conserving the earth's resources.
Your home is one of the best places to start making green living changes
because you have the control to make the choices that are best for you.
Along with energy efficiency, water conservation is a major issue, and it
is where you can really make a difference. If you conserve water you are
conserving both water and energy, and that helps to reduce the amount of
carbon emissions pumped into the atmosphere.
When it comes to waste reduce what you buy as much as possible - including
choosing the least amount of packaging possible - as this will naturally
reduce the waste you generate. then assess your waste to see what can be
reused or recycled - what's waste to you may be useful to your friends and
neighbors or to a nonprofit group.
Remember children learn from adults so while you are changing your habits
your children are also learning and will do their part as they get older.
