Tips to Help the Earth From Home!

Hello!

To start I thought i'd give you some very simple tips to help our earth from your home. I know many people in the current and very fast paced soceity that we live in do not have the time to go out and volunteer to do things! Such as road and environment clean up or spending some time at the bottle depot or recycle centre. So I sat down and complied a list of 5 things that are super easy and quick but will make a big impact in the end! Some of these are things that I currently do at home and others I've recently discovered through some research!

1.RECYCLE RECYCLE RECYCLE!

I know that recycling is something that everyone tells you to do, but it is honestly so important and makes such a big difference! It also prevents a huge amount of waste going into our environment.  Hopefully most people do this but if you don't already then you better get started right away! Remember that you can earn money from taking the bottles into your local bottle depot, it is a quick way to earn some extra cash!

2.Unplug all of your electrical products that your aren't currently using!

An example of this is your microwave, your microwave still uses a small amount of energy throughout the day to keep the clock on! Which is such a waste of energy, you may think its not much but if you leave it on 24 hours a day everyday of the year that adds up to a lot of wasted energy!

3.Unplug your devices as soon as they are completely charged!

Check your devices regularly until they become fully charged, because it takes energy to maintain the charge which is unnecessary!

4.Don't Waste Water!

Say you want hot water, put a bowl in your sink and let the cold water from the tap pour in there until it becomes hot. Then set it aside for later and use it others way around you house! Such as your coffee pot, kettle or to do the dusting!

5. Keep lights off during the day!

Use natural light when you can, open the curtains! Let the world in! The sun will also make you feel better! :)

There are my 5 quick and easy tips to help our earth from you home! 

I hope these help!
