The world seems to have finally woken up to the damage that we have been doing to the environment. It's about time that all of us paid attention to the impact that we're having on the world and its ecosystems. If we fail to pay attention, the consequences will be dire.

We have written this article to help you understand how you can make your home that little bit more eco-friendly and try to reduce your impact on the environment.

Tip 1: Don't Waste Water

 We get clean water literally on tap, but it doesn't come cheap. It takes the water companies a lot of energy to clean our water and if you want to reduce our impact on the environment, we need to reduce how much water we use.

This means doing all of the usual things that you probably already know about, such as taking showers rather than baths and fixing leaks.

But there are some more unusual things that you can do too. For example, you can buy central heating radiators that have very low water content. This means not only do you use less water, but you also use less energy to run them too. This is a win-win.

You can also do things like collecting rainwater to feed your plants, rather than using a hosepipe.

Tip 2: Use Natural Cleaning Products

You probably have bleach in your bathroom and if you go and look at bottle now, you'll see that it has a warning label indicating that it's hazardous to marine life. This means that every time you put bleach down the toilet, you're hurting animals.

Instead of using these harsh chemicals, try using some of the natural cleaning products. You can buy them in the shops or you can make them yourself, Kim and Aggie have a good blog about these products.

Tip 3: Install Smart Metres

Installing smart metres for your gas and electricity used really help us understand where you're using too much energy. By tracking this over time, you'll be able to see what things you might be wasting energy on and addressing these problems.

Tip 4: Make Sure the Home Is Well Insulated

A well-insulated house means that you use less energy to heat your home in winter and less energy to cool your home in summer. Your central heating radiators will work much better and more efficiently in a house that is well insulated.

Not only will it save you money, but it will also help protect the environment. Some local councils and governments even have subsidies to help you pay for insulation.

I hope that you have found this article useful and informative. Taking care of our environment is the most pressing cause of our generation and if you want to leave a planet that is fit and healthy for our descendants, we need to act now. All of us.
