Everywhere you will listen to people talking about going green, what can you do to become more Eco friendly? These ideas will cost you close to no time, save you cash, improve your health and you’ll be doing something good for the environment! Have outdated pairs of prescription lenses taking up space in your cupboard? - recycle them You may have a new prescription and your old glasses are no longer in use, or you just decided to buy a new pair; your old glasses can help many people around the world. Only 13% of visual impaired people live in developed countries, which means a considerable number live in countries that don't have easy access to the correct help. Just by donating one pair of prescription lenses you have helped improve someones life greatly. Although donating glasses is not going to make a big shift to pollution, it certainly makes you feel good to know you are helping. Don't let the rain go to waste - store it It is normally not the best idea to drink rain water, but it can be fantastic for watering your garden or washing driveway. There is a huge offer of tubs in shops, or you can make your own. Drying clothing the natural way - outside Our mothers and grandmothers hung their clothing outside and they didn't have any problems with it. Hanging clothes outside keeps them fresh and smelling nice, is eco friendly and saves money. Do not worry; it will not hurt your social stading. Being eco friendly is in – do not feel guilty, feel proud instead! Forget the bath, make use of your a shower Health troubles can be exacerbated by bathing and showering too much or for long periods of time; apart from that your bills will jump up and heating of water consumes lots of energy. When you bathe in chlorinated water, the fumes can cause health complications, so the longer you are in the water the more you inhale. In addition a good thing to do is to use an attachment on your shower that cuts down the amount of water you use. Share transport with some work mates Sharing a car has been well-known for years and a great way to cut down on expense; local authorities advocate this idea, some authorities even designate road lanes for car sharers. Unfortunately, as a Toronto lofts realtor I need to drive a lot. Think about an average car driver, they commute about 100 km a week and about 5000 km a year. If you car share, then between you both, you would save on about 170 litres of fuel and 400 kg of CO2 each year, think about how much you could share if there were 3 or 4 of you in a car. If you’re not participating in a car sharing scheme run by your company, take the time to organize your friends or colleagues with similar commuting habits and save money, have a chat with your driver or passengers and support the environment.
