4 Ways To Be Green This Week

Earth week is an important aspect of the services and processes ran here at City Carting. Each and every day, we strive to better ourselves both for our company, and loyal clients. As Earth Day approaches, we’d like to highlight a few things that in addition to mindful waste management, you can perform at home. These simple tricks are a great way to improve life at home while also reducing footprint!

1. Conserving Water. This might seem easy, but you can also jump start the process in many ways. Opt for a low-flow showerhead, and have a bucket in the shower that collects spare water! Use this to water plants, or wash the car & family dog!
2. Reuse What You Use. In addition to the normal plastic bottles and other items, think about the other parts of your day that could be switched around. Change from using paper towels and disposable cutlery for the reusable forms! This helps for BBQ’s and other get-togethers when it might seem easier, but creates more garbage to worry about. Pair this with a low flow sink nozzle, and you can save double!
3. Use Less Energy. The weather is getting nicer, and sunlight is your friend! Open up those windows and let the vitamin D soak up your living room. At night, use energy efficient light bulbs and shut down electronics that can produce heat, and waste energy.
4. Cleaning Products. Instead of buying the clever marketing efforts of big companies who advertise ‘green’ options for home cleaning, make them yourself! There are a ton of things that you can do with household items which replicate the big brands, and do a great job!

While you might think your lifestyle is green enough, there are always different ways to switch up your tactics and make less of an impact each day! A great way to do so also begins with effective waste management at home — something City Carting has been doing for years!
