When you want to lower your heating bills or you want to make an environmental friendly impact, you have several options available. Most people look to saving money as the overwhelming factor in making eco-friendly lifestyle changes; money has always influenced the way people do things or, in some cases, not do things. These changes are very important in today’s society.

Getting Your Home Winter Weather Ready – Did you know that people tend to waste a lot of energy in the winter because they did not prep their home for the cold months? If you spend time caulking and sealing doors and windows, you can save yourself a lot of money but it must be done before the first initial cold snap. Before you waste energy and money, grab those reusable shopping bags and purchase sealing products to help you in your project. You certainly don’t want to send more money off to the electric/gas company during the winter months.

Utilize The Home’s Fireplace – Does your home have a fireplace? If so, make sure you use it. If you don’t, then you’re wasting a great heating resource. It shouldn’t be too hard to find someone who has wood scraps or works in urban harvesting. When you have an urban harvester, you know the wood you get is recycled. Keep in mind that it doesn’t take a lot of money to heat your home.

Wood/Pellet Stoves – There was a time that wood burning stoves were popular ways to heat a home; the same is true today. Wood stoves can be very expensive initially so many people will opt for pellet stoves.

Bio Diesel - Have you been an eco-friendly person using reusable bags for quite some time? If so, then you may want to use bio diesel as an option to heat your home.

Radiant Heating – If you want a system that will heat the ceiling, floors and walls of your house directly, then you’re going to want a radiant heating unit as your heating source. It’s highly more effective at heating a home than forced air heating and baseboard heating.

Solar Heating – You can always opt for solar heating but it’s important to keep in mind that the cost can be highly expensive initially. In the end, it pays for itself time and again. It’s not uncommon for new home developments to have this as a heating option. Passive solar heating is another alternative that allows you to take in as much sun as possible through your windows.

Replacing Windows – Rather than using single paned windows, go with double paned ones. These windows can reduce the amount of heat you lose as well as make your home eco-friendly.

Put On Clothes – Sometimes the most effective method of keeping warm is just adding more clothes to your body and placing slippers/socks on your feet. Not only will it keep you warm but it also keeps you from having to turn up your thermostat; thus, saving you money in the long run.

If you want to save money and help the environment, the smartest thing you can do is go green. Don’t just stop with the organic cotton reusable bags at your local grocery store. Make your home energy efficient since saving energy goes a very long way.

Eco Friendly Tips to living Green


September 17th, 2009 by Richard N Williams

Being eco friendly or living in an environmentally friendly way is often preached to us from the media, government, friends and colleagues. But eco friendly living can often be confusing with mixed messages coming from different quarters.

For instance some people claim bio-diesel is a green fuel as it produces les CO2 than conventional fuels. Others argue it takes up valuable arable land and that the fuel is essentially foodstuffs that could go to feeding people. So it becomes difficult to know who to believe.

And as being green is all about thinking about how individually we effect the environment – often what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work, or can be practical, to another.

However, there are a few things that many people agree can go a long way to helping the environment and most people can fit into their lives:=

Recycling. Recycling is perhaps the most important thing that we can do that directly help the environment. When you consider how much rubbish each of us throw away each year it soon becomes clear that reducing that amount will make an individual difference. Recycling bins go a long way to make things easier too.

Buy organic products where no harmful chemicals/pesticides have been used. Whilst they may be more expensive but anything we can do to help prevent pollution of our countryside and seas will benefit generations to come. Its not just about organic food either, organic clothing and other organic products are available.
Try and use natural alternatives. What was good for grandma is probably good for the planet too. Old fashioned methods such as drying clothes on an clothes airer will not only cut down on your carbon footprint but also reduce your energy bills.

Try different energy methods. Hybrid cars are one way of using new technology but replace some of the battery powered stuff with say solar powered gadgets. Even consider using solar powered chargers to recharge your laptop or ipod. Every little bit helps.
