‘Sustainability’ and ‘green living’ are words that are becoming part of our everyday lexicon with the threat of climate change looming large. However, being conscious about the environment doesn’t end with switching off the lights during Earth Hour or turning off the tap while brushing.
Yes, these small steps matter but it’s time to look beyond them. From recycling, limiting the amount of energy you use, using eco-friendly products and changing your diet, there are several ways to lead a sustainable lifestyle that isn’t just good for you, but for the planet at large. Here are some tips to get you started on achieving your eco-friendly goals.
# Cut down on plastic, step up on re-usable products
Plastic never goes away, but ends up in landfills and causes untold damage to the environment. Try switching to products that use sustainable packaging and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Read product labels carefully before you buy to understand the environmental impact of single use products. “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” sounds like a tired cliche, but continues to hold true every passing day. So, patronise local businesses, buy only as much as you need and look for organic alternatives to the food you consume.
# Save power, use renewable energy
Yes, you can switch to LED bulbs from conventional ones but a greater part of your power savings will come from harnessing the power of the sun to power up your home. Instal solar power panels and go in for energy efficient devices that will bring down your electricity bills significantly too! Invest in smart energy storage products like EcoFlow power generators that don’t just give industrial amounts of clean, quiet and renewable power for work and home, but also offer the option to charge at EV charging stations and solar panels in less than 2 hours and help power up to 9 devices for hours on end!
EcoFlow’s solar panels are powerful yet portable, with a 22.4% energy conversion efficiency, and are dustproof and water resistant, making them the ideal companion for your off grid outdoor trips. The EcoFlow 110W Solar Panel for instance, is made up of efficient monocrystalline silicon cells which can recharge portable power stations and your electric devices, and keep your equipment running without interruption. Needless to say, EcoFlow’s solar panels and solar generators are just what you need when there’s an unexpected power outage at home and you need to keep electrical and electronic devices running smoothly over extended periods of time. EcoFlow’s range of solar generators help you to work seamlessly, operate your home appliances and stay connected, working silently and without the bother of polluting fumes.
# Switch to sustainable tech
Switch over to energy efficient technology by opting to use solar energy charges for your smartphones and tablets. Plan to use rechargeable batteries where possible and recycle your devices when ready to dispose of them. Donate your old devices to schools and other institutions. The EcoFlow range of solar panels and generators are a great way to make sure your gadgets can run seamlessly, whether you are at home or on a road trip with your family. The EcoFlow ecosystem empowers you to pair up their impressive range of portable power stations with a range of customisable solar panels and generators that help you convert sunlight into clean, renewable energy that’s perfect for camping as well as home use.
# Conserve water
While you save energy by going solar, conserving water through rainwater harvesting, fixing leaky faucets, and choosing low-flow and low-water appliance options are a great way to help save the world’s most threatened resource. Using landscaping techniques that save water in your garden, planting trees that consume lesser water but are drought resistant are also some ways to shore up on the planet’s water reserves. Running gadgets like dishwashers and washing machines only when at optimum load is another great idea to help save water.
# Try sustainable commuting
Walking or cycling to neighbourhood destinations is good for the planet just as much it is good for your health. Using public transport is another good way to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Some other ways to manage your eco-footprint is to opt for stairs over elevators and organise car pools to work and sports and school drops. And if you’re in the market for a new car, invest in electric-powered vehicles which will go a long way in reducing your dependence on fossil fuels!
Re-invent the way you live by adopting simple changes to your lifestyle that will go a mile in helping the Earth live longer. The coming generations will only thank you for it.
