An Ecological House - Create it Yourself

You might want to start by something extremely simple. Make it a house rule that everybody turns out all lights anytime they leave a room. You can also do something as simple as getting up earlier everyday - this will prevent using the artificial light and also save money and energy.

You could also replace your light bulbs with the environmentally friendly light bulbs. This shouldn't be an overnight process, as throwing away current bulbs will only increase waste. Instead, make it a gradual process of replacing the bulbs with their environment friendly versions.

Continue with the simple things. Imagine your trash can. Downsize it. Alongside the trash can, place the recycling bins. Use one for glass. Another can be used for compost - organic items like the old food that can be placed outside in the garden. Other bins can be used for aluminum cans and recyclable paper.

By implementing the strategies listed above, you are on a good way to at least reduce the negative impact of your home on the environment and save it for yourself and and your children. It is worth to do something to make our world a better place to live in. Let's try and we won't regret that - our happy children and grandsons will thank us for that.
