10 ways to make your home more sustainable and save money
1. Stop buying use once items
Many of us tend to buy things that we can throw out and use over and over again. It’s time to make a chance and start thinking of a more long-term solution. Stop buying plastic water bottles and instead buy a reusable bottle that you can refill regularly. Get rid of paper napkins and invest in cloth instead.
2. Swap your lightbulbs
Head down to any hardware or large furniture store, like Ace or Ikea and get yourself some energy efficient, eco bulbs. They may not burn as bright but they last longer, use less electricity and save you more money over time. Your best bet is to buy LED bulbs.
3. Switch off the power on your wall sockets
Most of the time, even when an electronic device is off, it still consumed electricity. Switch off the power from the socket itself to stop the unnecessary consumption of electricity.
4. Set refrigerator temperatures correctly
Your fridge and freezer consume a lot of energy in your house. Make sure that you always close the fridge and freezer doors. Leaving them open for just a few extra seconds wastes a lot of energy.
5. Adjust your AC
Set your air conditioner’s thermostat at 24 degrees Celsius, as each degree less adds 9 per cent to your bill.
6. Take a break at peak hours
Avoid using certain appliances such as washing machines and dryers, irons and ovens during peak hours — 12 noon until 4 pm, and 8pm to 11 pm.
7. Wash yourself right
Opt for a shower and not a bath, as filling the bath tub requires 140 litres of water, while a shower takes 30 litres.
8. Grow your own veggies
Whether you live in a villa or an apartment, there are some vegetables and herbs that are surprisingly easy to grow here.
If you don’t have a garden, a flower pot will also do. In no time, you can have your own parsley, coriander, cucumbers and even potatoes.
9. Buy efficient appliances
Check efficiency ratings of appliances to save water and energy, like front-loading washers (they use half the water and detergent of top-loading washers)
10. Install faucet aerators
Faucet aerators is a simple way to cut down on water usage and conserve the environment
