analysis: Tips to Make Your Home More Eco-Friendly

Change out your lighting

Notes:

• Did you know that the type of lighting you have in your home could not only be harming the environment but also costing you more money than it needs to?
• Incandescent light bulbs are not a good choice as they not only waste too much energy by producing heat, but they also emit carbon dioxide.
• LED bulbs, on the other hand, use much less energy so switching to LED would be a greener solution. It may be worth looking into different lighting to see which would be best for your home.

Use recycling bins

Notes:

• Recycling is a great way to help the environment as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which is a factor towards helping climate change. When waste is put into landfill, it releases greenhouse gases into the environment, so the less waste that ends up there, the better.
• Lots of things can be recycled these days too including paper, plastics, aluminum and glass. If you can’t recycle with your waste collection, look into the recycling options in your area and do your bit.

Check your windows

Notes:

• If your windows are in need of being replaced, make sure to look at your options.  While double pane windows tend to be the standard, triple pane is a better choice for those living in cold climates.
• Not only will it keep heat inside your house – lowering your energy bills – but it will keep noise out too. When it comes to choosing a frame, wood is the more eco-friendly option, but do ensure the frame is properly manufactured to avoid problems with mold or damp.
• Fiberglass is another good option as it requires less energy to make than the more traditional materials like vinyl.
