WASTE LESS FOOD

Food waste is one of the biggest contributors to global warming and an unnecessary factor that can be easily avoided. Globally, it’s estimated that 1.6 tonnes of food are wasted every year. Food waste that ends up in landfills produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas which damages the environment. To avoid wasting food, make sure you only buy what you can consume and put any meals you don’t quite finish in the fridge as leftovers for your lunch the next day.

CONSERVE WATER

Conserving your water usage can help conserve fuel resources and reduce air pollution. Choosing showers over baths, turning the tap off while you brush your teeth and making sure the dishwasher is completely full before turning it on are all great ways to limit your water waste and cut down on energy bills.

MAKE THE MOST OF NATURAL LIGHTING

After a cold and dark winter, it’s important to make the most of the spring sunlight by keeping your curtains open during the day to let the sunlight pour in and shutting the curtains at night to keep the heat trapped in. By making the most of natural lighting, you can cut down on electricity, save money and help protect the environment.

ADD SOLAR PANELS TO YOUR ROOF

Solar panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity that you can use in your home. By installing solar panels, you can generate your own renewable electricity, which is a much more environmentally-friendly source of energy. Spring is the perfect time to invest in solar panels as you will benefit from longer sunlight hours sunlight, meaning more energy will be generated.
