How To Make My House More Eco-Friendly

​There are many ways to make your house more eco-friendly. Eco-friendly homes have lower utility bills and help reduce environmental damages that traditional homes may cause. This post will show you how to make your home more green in 6 easy steps.

1. Turn off lights
   Turning off lights when not in use will help reduce energy consumption. Although, (turning on and then turning off a light is more expensive than just leaving it on.
   
   
2. Use energy-efficient appliances
   Energy-efficient appliances are more expensive, but their energy savings make them worth the investment. Eco-friendly appliances use less water and electricity making them more gentle on the environment. 
   
   
3. Use green cleaning products 
   Green cleaning products are Eco-friendly and are a great way to reduce the number of toxins you're exposed to. Eco-friendly cleaning products use non-toxic cleaners, plant-based ingredients, and recycled materials.
   
   Green cleaning products can be purchased in most grocery stores or health food stores like Whole Foods Market.
   
   
4. Limit the number of paper towels 
   Paper towels use a lot of water and paper to produce, which is eco-unfriendly. Instead of using paper towels to dry off your hands or surfaces, try using cloths with vinegar on them instead--the smell will go away after it dries.
   
   
5. Unplug electronics when not in use 
   Unplugging your electronics will save energy and keep your devices from overcharging in standby mode, which can lead to an increased risk of fire. Even though smart devices stop energy consumption even when not in use, it's still important to unplug our devices.
   
   
6. Purchase an eco-friendly car
   A car can be eco-friendly if it gets the equivalent miles per gallon of a gasoline-powered vehicle and only runs on electricity, for example, an electric or hybrid vehicle. Eco-friendly cars are becoming more common with advances in technology--some even have solar panels, and these cars produce zero emissions.
