How to Lead a More Eco-Friendly Life
Reduce Meat Intake
Many scientists state that reducing meat intake is the best way for an individual to reduce their impact. Demand for meat leads to harmful emissions as well as deforestation, so reducing your meat intake can lower this demand. Becoming a vegan is a fantastic step to take, but if you are not willing to go this far then simply cutting back on meat (particularly beef) will be a good start.
Transportation
Another important area to consider is transportation, especially if you spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Switching to an electric car will be the best step to take if you need to use a car regularly and it could also help you to make huge savings – just make sure to shop around to find the best electric car insurance deals. Other ways to reduce your impact from transportation include starting a carpool, using public transport, and walking/cycling where possible (also great ways to improve your fitness and save money!).
Home Switches
There are also lots of changes that you can make around the home that will reduce your impact and help you to save on your energy bills (something everyone is looking to do right now). Switching to a green energy supplier will be one of the best options if you want to reduce your impact or have solar panels installed (a great way to make long-term savings). Other changes that you can make around the home include using LED lightbulbs, switching off lights and appliances when not in use, and washing clothes on a cold setting. You can also reduce the amount of energy used when cooking by batch cooking. Additionally, a smart thermostat is a good tech upgrade that will help you to maximise the usage of your central heating and reduce your energy consumption.
Hopefully, this article will give you a few ideas for ways to lead a more environmentally-friendly life and encourage you to take positive action. There are lots of changes that you can make to your lifestyle that will help to protect the planet, plus many of these changes can help you to save money among other benefits so there are more reasons than one to take action.
