If you are always looking for ways to make your home greener, you've probably seen this post title many times before. Despite the title of this post suggesting it's a standard 'make your home greener' post, it's not.
The majority of the other posts are based on improving your home and how you can save money in the process. They tend to talk about having loft insulation, double glazing, not leaving your TV's on, things like that. This post is all about, what you can do after you've done all that.
Although you may have managed to stop your home from wasting so much energy, there is one aspect that's commonly forgotten. Every so often we decide to redecorate our homes, this often leads to changes in everything from wallpaper tobathroom accessories.This is where you can make some improvements.
When buying new furniture, you rarely think about the environmental consequences. I guess it's a tough enough job to find something that everyone likes, without it being environmentally friendly too. But when you think about it, a lot of energy has gone into making these products. They tend to be constructed in large factories which waste large amounts of energy, they are then shipped back to the UK after being made abroad.
Fortunately, due to everyone becoming more aware of our impact on the environment, many retailers are offering greener, more eco-friendlyhome furnishings.
From everything fromtableware to kitchen accessories, there are lots of products out there that you can buy that are better for the environment. All these little things, and big things, that you need to buy for your home have an impact on the environment. This is something that should be in the minds of everyone when it comes to furnishing your home. Reducing the amount of actual energy your home wastes isn't the only way you can reduce your home's impact on the planet. Although it can't be avoided with some home accessories, you'd be surprised at how many you really can buy that are more environmentally friendly.
