5 TIPS TO HELP YOU BE ECO-FRIENDLY

Want to be eco-friendly? Some simple changes in your home can help you live more sustainably.

1. UNPLUG APPLIANCES

Turning any appliances off whilst you are not using them can reduce your energy consumption by almost 6%.

2. CHANGE YOUR CLEANING PRODUCTS

Ensure you choose biodegradable cleaning products or better still create your own homemade cleaning products using things you already have in your cupboard.

3. UPCYCLE

Find secondhand furniture on Facebook Marketplace, re-upholster or re-paint

4. GET RID OF THE CLING FILM

Use Tupperware or reusable tubs – they are kinder to the planet and very cost-effective

5. REDUCE TUMBLE DRYER TIME

Use a clothesline or airing rack as a green option. If you need a tumble dryer, look at washer/dryer combination as they use up less water and can squeeze out more water during the spin cycle.
