When furnishing a home, use refurbished building materials and used furniture.

Replace disposable items, such as razors, with reusable ones.

Keep what you need and simplify your life. Store less.

Storage units are quickly replacing our natural areas.

And do the following:

  • Xeriscape
  • Plant more trees and native plants
  • Compost yard waste

Such as:

  • Use biodegradable products
  • 100% recycled paper products
  • Reusable cloths
  • Loofahs
  • Start using a bidet

Reduce energy use wherever possible.

  • Line-dry clothes
