Going green doesn’t have to mean you need to make costly investments like solar panels, non-toxic paints or sustainable wood flooring. All it takes is making small changes in your day-to-day activities to make your home a healthier and greener place. As builders who promote eco-friendly living, below are a list of things you have to do which will help the environment,

Energy efficient CFL lamps and LED bulbs use just a quarter of the electricity than regular bulbs. Not only do they help you save up on your electricity bills, they also last 10 times longer too.
Turn off those lights
Switch of the lights when there is enough sunlight outside. Move your window curtains and let the sunlight enter your room. Installing automated timers can be another way to save energy for lights that are frequent left to blaze in empty rooms.
Grow plants

Get unplugged
Electric appliances like TVs, DVD players and computers use much energy in standby mode. So when not in use, make sure to turn them off to preserve energy.
Conserve water
Make sure to check your bathroom for leaks, close your pipes tight enough to avoid leak by drops. Install inexpensive water-saving shower heads to check the water flow. Also make sure to turn off the water while brushing or scrubbing your hands, before it’s time to rinse.
Go paperless at home
Even there are many way that digital growth given us to reduce usage of paper and protect our files, many homes still can be seen with lot papers flying inside it. Go green and get organized by opting to online payments. With some patience, you can stack up your important files digitally.
