Sustainable living has become a top priority for homeowners as awareness of environmental impacts humans make has come to light. One way to make your home more eco-friendly is by implementing just a few sustainable practices that can ultimately make a big difference. Not only does it reduce your carbon footprint, but it can also save you money in the long run. As experts in GREEN cleaning, Zerorez® Carpet Cleaning has put together some sustainable living tips that you can implement in your home to make it a GREEN space.
1. Use Energy-Efficient Appliances:
Switching to energy-efficient appliances is a simple way to make your home more sustainable. These appliances use less energy, which reduces your carbon footprint and saves you money on your energy bills. When shopping for new appliances, look for the Energy Star label. Energy Star certified appliances are designed to use less energy without sacrificing performance.
**Helpful Hint: Save energy by running your big appliances (e.g. dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, etc.) during non-peak energy times to reduce your energy bills**
2. Invest in Solar Panels:
Another way to make your home more sustainable is by installing solar panels for your home. Solar panels generate renewable energy from the sun, reducing your reliance on fossil fuels. Although the initial investment can be high, solar panels can save you money down the line by reducing your energy bills.
3. Be Mindful of Cleaning Products:
Conventional cleaning products often contain harmful chemicals that can harm both the environment and your health. Instead, opt for natural cleaning products that are made from eco-friendly ingredients. Zerorez® uses our innovative Zr Water® that is free of harsh chemicals, soaps, and detergents and is pet and eco-friendly!
4. Reduce Water Usage:
Water conservation is an essential part of sustainable living. Simple changes such as turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or taking shorter showers can significantly reduce your water usage. You can also install low-flow showerheads and faucets to reduce the amount of water you use each day.
5. Plant a Garden:
Planting a garden is a great way to make your home more sustainable. Not only does it provide fresh produce, but it also helps reduce your carbon footprint. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which helps clean the air. You can also compost your food waste and use it as fertilizer for your garden. Plant your garden inside or outside, either way, you will experience the benefits and be working toward a more sustainable future!
