‘Earth Day’ serves as a reminder of our commitment to use clean, renewable solar energy to build a better, more sustainable future every day. There has never been a more crucial moment to use this day to consider the major and small differences we can make every day as climate change continues to raise temperatures and energy prices.

It’s a fantastic idea to begin considering how to lead a more sustainable lifestyle as ‘Earth Day’ draws near. Going green has advantages for the environment, but it may also result in long-term financial savings on energy costs. Here are some suggestions to help you observe ‘Earth Day’ and have a beneficial influence on the environment. These are from the traditional reduce, reuse, recycle to composting and replacing inefficient lightbulbs.

1. 1. Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling

      This is certainly the first thing that comes to mind when considering how to live more sustainably. And for good cause too, considering how simple it is for anybody to carry out. ‘Recycling’ is a terrific method to get some extra cash. Think if you decide to sell your scrap metal to your neighbourhood ‘recycling centre’. By taking simple steps to cut back on your use, such as turning off the water while you wash your teeth or ‘using reusable’ plastic bags in place of single-use ones, you may save money in addition to resources day after day. Using creative reuse techniques will help you avoid adding a tone of rubbish to the landfill. For instance, you may utilize a glass candle holder as a holder for writing instruments, cooking utensils, or jewellery.
      

   2. Make a pile of compost

      Food waste may be used to generate nutrient-rich soil through ‘composting’. Start by gathering all of your fruit and vegetable trimmings, along with any bush or yard clippings, and piling them in a corner of your land to create your own ‘compost pile’. You may quickly have ‘nutrient-rich compost’ to use in a garden or for potted plants if you turn them over every week or so. Additionally, a lot less rubbish will have been dumped in landfills.

   3. Start a Home Garden

      Planting a ‘home garden’ is an excellent way to lower your grocery bills. It is also a fun hobby to share as a family. Arizona soil is naturally rich in nutrients and great for growing food, or if you start a compost pile, you can use that soil instead. For five dollars you can buy enough seeds to keep your refrigerator stocked with fresh veggies all season long. Not to mention how much more delicious and healthy your meals will be with fresh produce that you’ve grown yourself.

   4. Replace Your Bulbs With LEDs

      Any homeowner with sound financial judgement would make an investment in ‘LED lighting’. They don’t simply lower your lighting-related electricity costs. In the case of solar-powered ‘LEDs’, completely eliminate them. They also last a lot longer, preventing you from constantly changing bulbs and contributing needless garbage to landfills. As the summer heat wave approaches, switching to ‘LED lightbulbs’ can also help keep your home a little bit cooler, especially if you’re replacing incandescent or ‘CFL lights’.

   5. Go solar

      Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels is one approach to have a substantial environmental effect. Coal, oil, and gas are examples of fossil fuels that contribute to air pollution and climate change. We can lessen our dependency on fossil fuels and contribute to environmental protection by adopting renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower.Even though it’s a bit more difficult than our other eco-friendly suggestions, going solar is one of the greatest ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Also to save money on your energy bills each month. Arizonans have a fantastic chance to convert the state’s most plentiful natural resource. Its more than 300 days of sunlight, into significant savings.
