10 Green initiatives you must be part of

Going Green is an initiative to conserve the earth. It is not about making extreme changes in our life. It’s a way of living, you can be a part of it by making some basic changes in your daily life. By being more Eco-conscious, you can benefit the environment and your health. Besides, you can save a lot of money.

It’s pretty easy to lessen the impact on our environment in our daily routine. You just need to give a little more thought and take some important initiatives. Here is a list of things you can start off with.

Save Electricity: Go for CLFs and LEDs for lighting, they are not only eco-friendly but also save your money. Switch off the television, microwave, computer and other such appliances immediately after use. Unplug the devices which you don’t use frequently as most devices have standby power. Purchase products with energy star label. This will help to reduce your electricity bill.

Natural Energy Sources: Try to use electricity as less as possible and make your house energy efficient by using natural sources of energy. Install a solar water heater to get hot water. This will help to reduce your electricity bill as well as the emission of carbon dioxide.

Eat Local Produce: Buy vegetables and fruits produced locally from vegetable vendors and farmer’s markets instead of retail stores and supermarkets. Retail stores have products traveled from other parts of the country. Refrain from buying imported vegetables and fruits.

Rainwater Harvesting: Rainwater floods the streets when we face the scarcity of water. You can meet your water requirements by harvesting rainwater. You can either go for rooftop rainwater harvesting or surface runoff harvesting. It not only helps to meet your water requirement but also save your water bill.

Waste Management: The three Rs of waste management are reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce the waste produced in your house. Reuse whatever you can like bags, containers, papers and clothes. Go creative with your waste. Keep different wastes separately and give for recycling what is recyclable.

Green Cleansers: Instead of buying ready made cleaning products which contain harsh and toxic chemicals which are harmful to your health and eco-system, go for some homemade, non-toxic cleansers. Baking soda, vinegar and lemon are some good cleansers.

Go For Organic Products: Buy organic vegetables and fruits that are grown without using chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Use natural and organic products for your skin care. Opt for organic fabrics like cotton, linen and bamboo.

Grow a Garden: Grow your own garden in kitchen window sills or in balconies. Growing vegetables and herbs in your home will not only save you money but will give you fresh vegetables to have. It will also make the air of your home fresh and pleasant.

Skip Bottled Water: Don’t buy bottled water for drinking. In producing bottled water, gallons of water and oil is wasted. Instead, install a water filter in your home to purify water. You can buy a reusable water bottle to carry while traveling and in the office.

Buy Smart: Buy products of daily use in bulk to reduce waste and save money. Buy products that are of good quality and long lasting. Avoid unnecessary buying. Buy energy efficient products.
