Easy Changes You Can Make To Be More Green and Eco-Friendly

This year has definitely been a year. It has come with many challenges, that’s for sure. The one thing that has significantly changed for my family is the amount of time we have been spending at home. With working from home, having 3 kids virtually learning, and getting an in-ground pool, we have noticed a HUGE increase in our energy bill and consumption. Which got us thinking about how we could find easy changes we can make to be more green and eco-friendly at home.

In partnership with Iberdrola Texas, we wanted to find ways we can decrease the amount of energy that we are using, the best we can, and find ways to become more green at home.

Wind Powered Energy

My family has always used the more traditional forms of energy when it comes to our home but recently we learned of wind energy and we were so intrigued. Have you ever considered wind energy for your home?

Iberdrola Texas is a global energy leader. Actually, they are the number one producer of wind power. They have over 170 years of history behind them. With their commitment to clean energy, they are now among the companies with the lowest emissions in the world and have become an international benchmark. This is a big deal, especially for our environment.

We are looking into making the switch to Iberdrola Texas and wanted to be able to share them with any of my readers that are considering wind or needed more info.

Benefits of Wind Energy

Wind power has some of the lowest environmental impacts of any source of electricity which makes it a great choice if you are trying to go greener. It’s one of the most environmentally friendly energy sources known to man. 

  • Reduces air pollution
  • Reduces water usage
  • Reduces Fossil Fuel Consumption
  • Clean, renewable, and sustainable form of energy
  • Helps farmers add additional revenue but maintain the integrity of their farm.

Love Of Nature

In order to value mother nature and all of our natural resources, you need to be able to take all of its beauty in. Teaching kids especially to have respect for nature is important. It helps them understand the value which in turn makes it easier to instill a love for using natural resources and preserving them. I feel it’s so important to instill an appreciation for all our natural resources at a young age.

Create A Green Home

Sometimes I feel when people think “green” they automatically think they need to do a complete overhaul of their life. But that’s not true at all. You really can start today and start small. You will be surprised at how a few little changes can make a big impact. Here is a list I put together that maybe you can start doing now.

Easy Changes You Can Make To Be More Green and Eco-Friendly
  • Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs
  • Turn off the lights when not in use
  • Set cooling and heating temperatures correctly 
  • Unplug your electronics when not in use
  • Use washer efficiently (full load vs small)
  • Invest in energy-saving window treatments
  • Use a reusable water bottle
  • Limit hot water usage
  • Turn the water off when brushing your teeth
  • Use live potted plants indoors

Hope the above list will get you excited about how you can start making small changes at home that have a huge impact.

Hope this post will help you find easy changes you can make to be more green and eco-friendly
