The Ultimate Guide To Green-Conscious Habits
Making green-conscious choices around your home is an effective and easy way to be environmentally conscious and contribute to a thriving environment. Let’s learn how small, hidden changes can make an impact.
Rolling Out Environmental Change
Small swaps, like the kind of toilet paper you use can have an impact. When you choose Bonterra paper products, you help give old paper products new life. Bonterra paper products are made from 100% recycled paper so you can support a circular economy, and have zero plastic packaging too.
Going Beyond The Roll To Save Water
Countless gallons of treated water are wasted every year. Limit your water waste in the bathroom with a little bit of extra mindfulness. By limiting the length of your showers, using a low-flow shower head, or turning off the tap while you’re brushing your teeth you can help save litres of water! Not to mention, these new habits could have a positive impact on your wallet if you pay monthly water bills too.
Expanding Green Habits Beyond The Bathroom
Looking for ways to be more eco-conscious around your home? Don’t flush your green habits when you step out of the bathroom. Bring your environmentally conscious attitude to every room by converting conventional light bulbs to LEDs and maximize your impact. You can also use a smart thermostat to optimize the temperature of your home and shrink your environmental footprint. Programming your thermostat to work less when no one’s home can help lower the amount of energy wasted.
Kitchen-Conscious Choices
To cut down on kitchen water waste, wait until your dish washer is full, turn off your taps while handwashing dishes, and choose quality dish detergent to avoid having to do dishes twice. When it comes to cutting back on plastic waste, look to Bonterra paper towels for plastic-free packaging. Finally, limit your plastic waste with reusable and washable containers.
Laundry Room Lowdown
We have three simple ways to make laundry day sustainably conscious. First, wash your clothes in cold water. Why is washing your clothes in cold water better? Cold water washes help reduce the amount of energy per load and they can help save your fabrics too! Next, try hang-drying clothes where you can, to reduce the energy usage of your dryer and save money. Finally, remove static without the waste and switch from disposable dryer sheets to reusable dryer balls.
Align With Brands Who Share Your Values
Opt for sustainably focused brands like Bonterra who share your green vision and strong commitment to the environment. Your loyalty means these brands can use their voice to drive change and lead by example in the retail world.
These quick swaps and little changes can have a sizeable impact on the environment. By exercising these mindful habits, you set an example for your kids, your friends, and your family.
