How environment-friendly is your home? Amidst all the propaganda for eco-friendly living, there are still millions of homes that could do with a little more of a ‘green’ touch. A non-toxic home is good not just for the environment but also for your family and pets.
If you look around at any given time in your house, how many of the things you see are non-toxic or non-recyclable? You may be amazed at the percentage of environmentally hazardous stuff lying in your living rooms, kitchens, garages and bathrooms. Unused and unwanted materials such as paints, brake fluids, pesticides, batteries, light bulbs and cleaning chemicals ought to disposed of at a proper waste management facility.
With little or no effort, you could save water by properly closing the faucet, using a high-efficiency toilet and taking a ’slightly’ quicker shower. You can even keep the environment clean through regular maintenance programs, such as using a septic tank cleaner for less tank pumping.
