There are loads of affordable, eco-friendly products available at your local grocery store (including reusable bags!) & plenty of super easy changes you can make in your day-to-day life that will benefit the future of our planet.

Here are a handful of suggestions as to how with very little effort, your home can become a green one ….because it really simply makes a great deal of sense!
 

Apply the 3 R’s & Compost!

Reduce the amount of energy your home uses by retrofitting light bulbs (& flicking them off when not in use), faucets, windows, furnaces & AC units for energy efficient alternatives. The Canadian government provides rebates for big changes like this which helps alleviate cost to you, & you’ll definitely see great savings on energy bills! Unplug anything that doesn’t have a power-off switch, because although you’re not using them- adapters and other small appliances still draw power when they’re plugged in. Reuse whenever you can. Grocery store bags, lunch containers, coffee mugs… converting to anything reusable, especially frequently used items, truly supports eco-friendly living. Recycle! You have a bin...fill it up! Whenever you are about to throw an item away, stop & think about whether it’s a recyclable or biodegradable material & pay attention to how little you have to actually contribute to garbage collection!
