Reduce Waste

Recycling is key, but lots of other apartment communities don’t have recycling programs. Commit to use water filter systems instead of bottled water to reduce plastic.

Buy Plants

Plants can help reduce electricity since, they minimize the amount of pollutants in the air and therefor the need to use electrical cleaning devices will be less.

Non-toxic products

Natural cleaners like vinegar and baking soda, are far better options as to cleaning agents with chemicals.

Put of the light!

Switch off all electronic devices as well as lights you do not use. This includes small devices like cell phone chargers, toasters and even coffee makers. When all the energy consumed by the smaller devices are added up, it adds up.

Switch bulbs

Change from incandescent bulbs to CL (compact fluorescent) bulbs. These will make a world of difference in energy consumption.
