Turn the lights off when you leave a room

It literally takes less than a millisecond to flick off a light switch and what harm could it possibly do to you if a room you’re not in is dark? This is an efficient way to save energy, which leads to a drop in need for energy production, which means less harmful gases are emitted into the air.

Carpool whenever possible

Who doesn’t love a karaoke car ride with their friends and/or family? So why not have a blast on your commute and save the environment at the same time.

If you’re going to the same place at the same time, suggest carpooling and go together. Even if just one of your friends lives in an area where it’ll be feasible, the toxic fumes from that one car not being released into the atmosphere will make a great difference.

Use a glass of water instead of running water while brushing your teeth

Even though turning the tap off while brushing your teeth is an extremely plain sailing thing to do, for some reason, people just don’t seem to do it.

So instead, before brushing your teeth, fill up a glass with water and use that to rinse your mouth. The tap will be closed from the beginning and you won’t need to open it again either.

Use biodegradable cleaning products

Instead of buying household cleaning products, use eco-friendly products which, when released into the air, will cause negligible damage to the environment along with saving your money! Some examples include items like distilled vinegar and baking soda.

Keep a reusable water bottle in your bag at all times

If a bottle is always in your bag then no effort will be needed to find it and put it in your bag each time you leave the house. You can use this bottle to fill with water, coffee or any other drink you buy, for example, at a coffee shop. Like this, you’ll avoid using plastic cups and hence lessen the non-biodegradable waste lying around on the planet.
