Imagine living in a home with zero carbon footprint. Where the entire house is powered
by the sun and every drop of rain received is conserved. Where every item of trash is recycled and turned into fertiliser. Sounds too good to be true, isn’t it? Only that it is not.
Going green doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive with expensive investments like solar panels, non-toxic paints or wooden flooring. All it takes is simple changes in your everyday lifestyle to make your home a healthier, greener place to live in. But as said “old habits die hard” and it might take some effort and time to adapt to a greener lifestyle and lessen your home’s impact on the environment. To begin with, you can make a commitment to change just one habit every month.
Try any of these for this month.
Say ‘no’ to plastic bagsShun plastic bags by carrying a reusable canvas bag or jute bag next time you are out shopping. We all know that polyethene bags are non-biodegradable and almost every single plastic bag you are using today is going to outlive you by at least a millennium.
These plastic bags are responsible for the death of thousands of marine animals every year including many endangered species. It is a good habit that needs no special effort to always keep a reusable bag in your car or your bag. You may end up using fewer or no plastic bags at all.
