The world is working on being more green for many reasons. Some people are doing it because they feel as though things have gotten bad and if changes aren’t made Earth won’t sustain the human race for much longer. Others do it just for a healthier lifestyle.
No matter why you want to go green, there are some things that you can do that will help you be more friendly to the water and the air in your life. That means conserving more of it and having cleaner air to breath and water to use.
Here are three things that you can do to ensure you have more eco-friendly water and air in your home.
Grow Your Green Thumb
One way to get cleaner air in your home is to grow some plants. Science has shown that plants inside the home can help purify the air. If you don’t have a green thumb, talk to your local greenhouse about plants that are easier to care for and harder to kill.
Your indoor greenery will absorb nasty gasses, including carbon dioxide, through the leaves and roots, making your are healthier to breath. Pick ferns, ivy, or aloe vera for the best removal of gasses and toxins.
Collect Rain Water
You can conserve more water by collecting rainwater to use for water plants, indoor and outdoors. Not all areas allow rain water collection, so you’ll want to look into this before you start saving.
Using rainwater for water plants, gardens, and even your yard, helps you conserve your well or city water for other uses. In places where droughts are common this can be very important.
Clean The Air And Water
You can find all sorts of air purification systems, and even water purification systems. One of the most common systems for cleaning air uses ionization to remove odors and more. However, if you want to do more than remove odors, and have clean air and water, look into ozone purification systems.
Ozone treatments work to destroy mold and other bacteria in the air and in the water. This leaves you with pure fresh air and water. These systems come in various sizes at various prices, but so do the ionization systems that do far less. Clean air and drinking water make it worth the cost.
It’s not difficult to have better air and water, or to help conserve these things. Start simple with some plants in your home and rainwater collection. You can upgrade when you can afford it but still enjoy a better, more eco-friendly life, in the meantime!
Plus, plants do a great job at brightening up a home and giving it more life. Just remember to follow the water instructions so you don’t fail at having a green thumb.
