Climate change is one of the most concerned topics today. In the past few years, we have seen tremendous changes in temperature and weather conditions. From the hot weather in the UK to floods all over the world, it’s no surprise that we had to make small changes to our homes.

Many of us are making small changes to our lives to reduce our carbon footprint. This may be related to not eating meat, taking public transportation, riding a bicycle, and recycling. However, one of the most important things you can do to protect the environment is to make major/small changes to your house. 

Let us see what you can do to make your home environment sustainable.

If you want to make major changes to your home, we recommend that you install solar panels. They are designed to absorb energy from the sun and help power the heating around your home. They do not use electrical or mechanical equipment; they just transmit solar radiation to your home.

If you are decorating or want to change, solid wood flooring is the most environmentally friendly choice. Not only is solid wood 100% natural, it is also manufactured without any harsh chemicals. Hardwood flooring is biodegradable and can be recycled when it reaches the end of its useful life. Bamboo is one of the best choices for solid wood because it is one of the fastest growing trees and renewable.

Engineered wood is believed to help the environment by better circulating heat. They are excellent heat conductors, which means you will use less energy. The layers used to construct engineered wood panels contain recycled wood, such as MDF. This reduces waste and prevents more trees from being felled.

In winter, we will go all out to heat up, but we will not consider the impact we are having. Double-glazed windows with an airtight structure will improve energy efficiency. You will begin to notice that your energy bills have dropped, and your home has become warmer and more comfortable.

Be more sustainable and start recycling your cardboard and plastic. Don't just put everything in a trash can and separate them! The more we recycle, the better our carbon footprint.

Hang clothes on the laundry line

We all dried our last-minute tops in the washing machine, but this is not an excuse for washing your clothes. Drying clothes consumes a lot of energy. If you want to make your home more sustainable, prepare some wires and a few nails, and then start hanging up your clothes. If it rains, try using a dryer.

 Add some indoor plants and energy-saving gardens!

Did you know that indoor plants help to purify the air in your home? By installing a drip irrigation system, you can water more sustainably.

Buying new furniture means more manufacturing. As people reinvent old furniture, upgrading recycling has become more and more popular. If you have an old chest of drawers that has been beaten in your attic for 10 years, please paint them with new paint!

Make art with natural ink

If you want to brighten up your home without buying anything, use old vegetable peels to make your death. If you have some beets or broccoli by your side, mix them with flour and a little water to make a smooth paste (but not too thick)

Is your home sustainable? We would love to know. Comment below if you have more ideas, you can bring a more sustainable lifestyle to your home.
