Small Apartment |
The big trend this year is going green. We have listed 4 green ways to convert a simple living area into a greener one!
Are you wanting to make your apartment greener?
While going green has become trendy, it is also a great money saver for homeowners!
With these 4 easy ideas, you can start living green in your apartment.
Paint It Green
Thinking of remodeling or painting? This can be another simple way to go green. Don’t go for a synthetic paint; instead pick a low- or zero-VOC line, which won’t off-gas. There are several manufacturers who are offering recycled paint, leading to four times less greenhouse gas air emissions. Or for added peace of mind, you can go all-natural with organic, biodegradable and natural milk paint.
Save Water, Save Nature
By just doing a few simple repairs and retrofits, you can invest in big water savings. It can be anything from fixing a leaky faucet or replacing a worn-out washer or installing a low-flow shower-head. Check around your house today for small plumbing fixes that can lead to huge money savings!
Seal Your Home
Seal up those tiny air leaks that prevent your apartment from being a cozy and energy-efficient space. Try to find leakages that are close to the edges of windows, doors, electrical outlets and light fixtures. It is important to fix them before winter, to keep your heating bill low.
Create Mini Food Garden
The simplest way to join the green revolution is to grow your own food. If you have a porch, balcony, windowsill or light-filled wall, you can grow green veggies in your home. There are many low-maintenance options such as kits for growing oyster mushrooms or organic sprouts, or a cool self-cleaning fish tank that grows food for you.
