Why Go Green at Home?
Homes are a major source of water, plastic, and energy consumption. Making small changes helps the environment β and your wallet.
Top 10 Tips to Build a Greener Home
1. π‘ Switch to LED Lighting
LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy and last longer than traditional ones. An easy first step toward energy efficiency.
2. πΏ Install Water-Saving Devices
Use aerators on taps and low-flow showerheads to reduce water usage without sacrificing comfort.
3. β»οΈ Set Up a Waste Segregation System
Use separate bins for dry waste, wet waste, and recyclables. Compost your kitchen waste to reduce landfill burden.

5. π Use Natural Light & Ventilation
Keep curtains open, paint walls in light colors, and use cross-ventilation to reduce electricity use during the day.
6. ποΈ Carry Reusable Shopping Bags
