Eco friendly habits for your home in 2024
Is your new year resolution for 2024 to be more eco-conscious? Adopting environmentally friendly habits in daily life will not only mean you're being kinder to the planet, but it could also save you money!
Chestertons continues to focus on green awareness, and through Chestertons London's partnership with Sophie from A Considered Life - a UK-based eco-conscious lifestyle blog, we share tips for adopting environmentally friendly habits in your home.
Here are five simple yet effective resolutions that will have a big impact.
Wash clothes less often and on a lower heat
Make it a new year’s resolution to only wash clothes when they really need it, instead of washing them after one wear. It’s not only better for the environment, it’s more eco-friendly and cost effective too. Washing clothes at 30 degrees is just as effective as washing at higher heats.
Use Eco-Friendly cleaning products
Want to make a difference without putting in much effort? Switch to green cleaning products. Earth-friendly products can be found in all major supermarkets and are just as effective at cleaning, whether it’s clothes or dishes. Look for the green certifications to help pick the most eco-friendly products.
Reduce food waste
One of the biggest impacts on the environment is left over food. So, if there’s leftovers in the fridge or food about to go off, avoid wasting it - either turn it into something new or put it in the freezer for later.
Choose energy efficient appliances
When old appliances need to be replaced and new ones purchased, the best replacement is an energy efficient one. These appliances are perfect for making a home more eco-friendly. They’ll also help save money too.
Switch to renewable energy
Switching to a renewable energy supplier is the simplest way to make a home more sustainable. Using renewable energy from natural resources has fewer carbon emissions, making it not only more eco-friendly but cheaper too.
