Ways to Go Green Without Changing Your Lifestyle

The 21st century comes with unique challenges on sustainability. As a result, stakeholders in environmental issues have developed a go green campaign where man can live in harmony and collaboration with the environment. The go green agenda has now become a subject of discussion and adoption across the world. This article explores green initiatives you can implement at the individual level without necessitating a change in your lifestyle.

First, you need to switch to natural and organic food as your main diet. This strategy applies to both you and your family. Most food substances contain chemicals such as pesticides and preservatives that eventually harm your body. Organic food can be grown in your home garden, and a small space can serve you fresh produce all year round.

Secondly, you need to consider efficient energy use around your house. Purchase energy-saving appliances to save energy costs at home. All your electrical appliances should stay unplugged when not in use. Switch off the bulbs and sockets during the day.

You can also bath and wash clothes using cold water. Heating requires a significant amount of energy per year translating into the loss of money that could have factored elsewhere. During the summer, clothes can be hung to dry in the open field instead of plugging in the dryer. Water is a primary human need in daily life. Pollution of water catchments has led to contamination of water bodies. The safe and clean water available at home must go to appropriate use. Therefore, encourage your family to use just enough amount of water for a bath, dish or car wash. Every drop of water is precious.

When getting to work in the morning, a walk or bike ride serves as a boost to your health and fitness. Needless to say, the amount of money you could save annually in gas prices and parking fees is impressive. All that cash could feed a starving family or pay school fees.

Lastly, you don’t have to buy every single item in your house. There is always the option to reuse or recycle something around your house. Things such as clothes can become rugs, cushions, and mops. These techniques reduce the amount of trash in your household and lessen its adverse effect on the environment. Being environmentally-friendly is not only good economics, but also a philosophy of life. It is essential that we take action now before it is too late.
