TIPS ON LIVING GREEN IN AN APARTMENT There are lots of things you can do to live green in an apartment. The easiest methods are recycling, using natural cleaners, and turning off lights when you leave the room. Composting is also an option, depending on the area in which you live or on your commitment to take the compost to a facility. 1. Recycle The best way to recycle is to make a game out of it. Get a recycle bin that is bigger than your trash can, and see how much you can put in the recycle bin as opposed to the trash. So much can be recycled, like toilet paper rolls, empty milk cartons, and empty bottles of juice.

TIPS ON LIVING GREEN IN AN APARTMENT

      There are lots of things you can do to live green in an apartment. The easiest methods  are  recycling,  using natural  cleaners,  and  turning off lights  when  you  leave  the  room.  Composting  is  also  an  option, depending  on  the  area  in which  you  live  or  on  your  commitment  to take the compost to a facility.

 1. Recycle       The best way to recycle is to make a game out of it. Get a recycle bin that  is bigger  than your  trash can, and see how much you can put  in the recycle bin as opposed to the trash. So much can be recycled, like toilet paper rolls, empty milk cartons, and empty bottles of juice.

2. Use Natural Cleaners       Natural cleaners are better for you and for the environment. Unlike in the past, 

there  are  quality  natural  cleaners  that work  just  as well  as  those made with harmful  chemicals.  Not  all  cleaners  deemed  “natural”  actually  are,  so  you’ll want to read labels carefully.

 3. Turn off Lights            Turning off lights when you’re not in a room can also be a “game.” Lights not 

only waste energy but also need to be replaced more often when they are  in constant use. You can also purchase energy saving bulbs, which work  just  the same as regular bulbs.

       These are just some of the things you can do to live green in your apartment.
