Eco lifestyle: where to start?

Hello, readers! Statistics of recent years show that the attitude of the population of our country to environmental problems has changed significantly: more people are thinking about their contribution to the preservation of the environment. However, as in any case, there is a difficulty - not understanding where to start.
If you decide to take a step towards an eco-friendly life, you do not need to immediately change the whole habitual way of life. We suggest starting the path with the smooth introduction of the simplest household habits.
First of all, it is necessary to use water sparingly, because the rate of consumption is increasing every year.
Did you know that 10 liters of water flows out of an open tap in a minute? Most people brush their teeth without turning off the faucet, which clearly does not fit into the concept of reasonable consumption. You can wet the brush, and after cleaning, open the rinse tap again: in 3 minutes you will save about 30 liters of water! If possible, give preference to the dishwasher: its use allows the family to save about 60 liters of water per day. Do not delay the repair of dripping faucets: up to 20 liters flow uselessly per day.
Start using electricity wisely.
Give preference to LED lamps: their efficiency is 50% higher than fluorescent and 90% higher than incandescent lamps. The installation of thermoregulators will allow you to regulate the temperature in the room. Batteries running at maximum dry the air, and with frequent ventilation, the generated heat literally flies out the window. Also, don't forget to unplug unused chargers.
In order to be environmentally friendly to food, follow simple rules.
Before going to the store, make a list of what you need. Hunger provokes impulsive purchases, so go for food full. If you study the principles of proper storage of products, you will not have to throw them away! And using a reusable bag and bags for weight products, you will significantly reduce the consumption of plastic bags.
There is no need to go to extremes and blame yourself for possible mistakes, you need to start this path comfortably and with pleasure. Only with this approach will new habits become a real way of life in the long run. We will continue to support you in this endeavor, telling you more about the principles of an eco-friendly lifestyle.
