Reducing Your Carbon Footprint in Your Apartment

 

Looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint in your Fort Wayne Apartment? Taking measures to reduce your carbon footprint can help to save a lot of money and energy in the future!

Use these five tips to help save energy in your apartment:

  1. Use Energy Efficient Light Bulbs - Consider using LED light Bulbs: LED light bulbs have plenty of benefits and are a great way to reduce your carbon footprint around your apartment. LED light bulbs have a 90% efficiency meaning 90% of their energy is turned into light instead of heat.
  2. Recycle - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: U.S. landfills are filled with more than 2 million tons of discarded water bottles. Consider using reusable water bottles in your apartment to reduce waste. Vacuum insulated bottles such as Contigo, Hydroflask, and Yeti are great bottles that keep your drinks hot or cold for an extended period of time.
  3. Unplug Your Appliances: Consider unplugging small appliances such as toasters, coffee pots, and blenders when they are not in use. Without even realizing, these small appliances can drive up your energy bill. Taking the time to unplug these appliances can help reduce your carbon footprint and save a little money!
  4. Start Eating Less Meat - Try Meatless Mondays: Reducing your weekly meat intake is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. There are a variety of meat alternatives that you can in order to soothe your meat cravings. Gardein, Boca, and Quorn are great plant-based meat alternatives.
  5. Reduce Your Heat and Air Conditioning Usage: Shutting off your heat or turning down your air conditioning when you are not actively using it can help reduce your carbon footprint.
