Install a Rainwater Harvesting System: Collect rainwater from your roof using a simple barrel system. This water can be used for gardening, flushing toilets, or even washing clothes
Create a Compost Bin: Turn your kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. This reduces waste and provides a natural fertilizer.
Use Energy-Efficient Lighting: Replace incandescent bulbs with LED or CFL bulbs. They use less energy and have a longer lifespan, reducing both your electricity bill and landfill waste.
Weatherproof Your Home: Seal windows and doors with weather stripping or caulk to prevent drafts. This helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduces the need for heating and cooling.
Build a Solar Oven: Create a solar oven using cardboard, aluminum foil, and a glass cover. It’s an eco-friendly way to cook food using only the sun's energy.
Grow a Vertical Garden: Use wall space to grow herbs, vegetables, or flowers in a vertical garden. This maximizes space and improves air quality indoors.
Install a Greywater System: Reuse water from your sinks, showers, and washing machines for irrigation. A simple greywater system can reduce water waste significantly.
Make Natural Cleaning Products: Use household items like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon to create eco-friendly cleaning solutions. They are non-toxic, cost-effective, and reduce chemical pollution.
