1. Improve Natural Light and Ventilation
Use curtains and furniture layout to increase daylight and airflow. This reduces energy use and improves indoor air quality.
2. Switch to Energy‑Efficient Lighting
LED bulbs use far less electricity than traditional bulbs and last much longer — saving you money and energy.
3. Choose Low‑VOC Paints When You Refresh Walls
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can off‑gas harmful chemicals. Low‑VOC paint improves indoor air quality and supports long‑term health.
4. Use Reusable Cleaning Cloths Instead of Single‑Use
Microfiber or cotton cloths replace endless paper towels and work great for everyday cleaning.
5. Add Indoor Plants for Cleaner Air
Certain houseplants help filter air naturally while adding calm, green energy to your spaces.
6. Seal Drafts to Improve Insulation
Small gaps around windows and doors let heat escape. Simple caulking or weather‑stripping boosts energy efficiency.
7. Reduce Water Waste with Aerators and Low‑Flow Fixtures
Aerators on faucets and low‑flow showerheads cut water use without sacrificing comfort.
8. Buy Quality That Lasts Instead of Cheap Replacements
Choosing durable items reduces waste and saves money over time.
9. Compost Organic Kitchen Waste
Small kitchen compost bins turn food scraps into rich soil for plants, reducing landfill waste.
10. Unplug Devices When Not in Use
Many electronics continue drawing power even when “off.” Unplugging saves energy and lowers utility bills.
