On Greenovate, Emily Johnson embarks on a renovation plan to green up a 2,650 square foot home in one month. While a month doesn't seem like much time to tackle a major project, read how you can go green by just making one simple change each day. Here are your tips for week four of your eco-transformation.
22. Carpool. Sharing is caring especially when it comes to transportation. When neighbors and co-workers ride together, everyone benefits.
23. Read the ingredients. Knowledge is power. Knowing what's in the products you buy will help you understand their impact on the environment.
24. Use less. When you are able to use only what you need, you help reduce unnecessary waste. Keep a journal of your food, fuel, and material consumption to better understand where you can cut back.
25. Use more. Enjoy the great outdoors more. Plan a hike or picnic instead of languishing indoors. When you use outdoor spaces more you use less energy to heat or cool the inside of your home.
26. Go low flow. Purchase low flow shower heads, faucets, and toilets to conserve water.
27. Support greeners. Stay informed and involved with local and national environmental efforts. Find out how you can support greening initiatives in your area.
28. Phone a friend. Share your environmental advances with friends and co-workers. When going green, it's great to have your own support network of eco-stewards.
