Here are three more great green living tips you can use to save money and the planet.
3 More Great Green Living Tips
Install Low-Flow Shower Heads
The newest showerheads use around two gallons of water per minute—a vast improvement over older showerheads, which can dump out about 5 gallons of water each minute. The average family uses 40 gallons per day just for showering, so making the switch can improve your water bill and help keep the planet green.
Use the Right Plants in Your Landscaping
Using native plants and trees in your yard can help reduce pesticide use, water waste, and more. Most nurseries have a native and adapted plants section, so next time you’re changing up your landscaping, be sure to ask what plants will help the environment most.
Replace Your Hot Water Heater
An old-style water heater typically heats between 50 and 70 gallons of water at all times—even when you’re not using it.
You can save energy by using insulating wrap, but if you can switch to a tankless water heater, you’ll save even more.
