How to Make Your Apartment Living More Green
Often times, living in an apartment leaves you at the mercy of your landlord, but that doesn’t take away the possibility of making your life a little more Green. Here are some steps you can take to make your apartment more environmentally friendly.
Recycle! This is perhaps the simplest, most effective way to help the environment. Purchase compact, stackable containers that easily fit into small spaces to make organizing your recyclables a snap.
Invest in organic cleaning supplies to ensure that no unnecessary chemicals will be spread around your apartment- or into rivers and oceans. There are several companies that produce all natural and eco-friendly cleaning supplies for daily use, including Seventh generation, Sun & Earth, and Mia Rose.
Don’t forget to unplug electronic devices. Even if they’re turned off, electronic devices that are plugged in can still suck up unneeded energy, so unplug to save energy and money!
Small, movable pots give you the chance to grow your own herbs and food. Indoor plants also improve the air quality in your home.
Purchase food in bulk, it means less packaging and less waste that’s produced.
Sleep organically by buying organic bedding. Organic cotton and other natural fibers mean less allergies and chemical irritants to disturb your sleep, and all materials are clean and sustainable.
Save energy and money by investing in LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs. These last longer than the average bulb while using less energy, so even though they cost more in purchase, they save money in the long run.
High-quality containers make composting a realistic option. They keep pests out and scraps in, and it’s worth the effort since compost makes the best soil.
