Have you ever wondered how one bathroom affects the environment? A dripping tap, for example, consumes 6 thousand liters of fresh water per year, and each jar of a cosmetic product costs nature a few cubic meters of clean air, water and earth. Follow five simple rules and make our planet a better place!
1. Turn off the tap more often
A whole bucket of water has time to drain from the open tap while you brush your teeth. Try to take a bath less often, preferring an invigorating shower. Only turn on the washing machine when it is full. Water is a source of life, which must be treated with care, because, according to scientists, a shortage of drinking water may occur in 30 years.
2. Save electricity
Use energy saving lamps that use 3-5 times less energy. Turn off the lights when leaving the room. And choose household appliances (washing machine, hair dryer, electric heated towel rail and other appliances that you use) energy class A. Saving energy will not only help reduce utility bills, but also save the planet from pollution.
3. Choose the right household chemicals
The bathroom should be clean. Always. But to fight bacteria and pollution, it is worth choosing cleaners that are safe for the environment and health. Study the ingredients carefully and avoid buying products containing chlorine and phosphates. Give preference to natural ingredients in the composition and biodegradability of the product. Funds that decompose as much as possible into components that are safe for the environment do not threaten the life of living organisms living in water and on land. Carefully read the instructions before use, do not forget about rubber gloves that will protect your hands from the aggressive effects of household chemicals.
4. Sort trash
The bathroom is probably the second largest source of household waste after the kitchen. And in some cases, if you don’t cook often, it even comes first. Separately collected waste is no longer garbage, it is recyclable material. Have a few containers for glass, paper and plastic, find the nearest collection point for recycled materials and save nature from the proliferation of landfills, which are very harmful to the beauty of our planet.
5. Use eco-cosmetics
Every woman’s bathroom is filled with a variety of jars, tubes and bottles, the production of which could seriously harm nature. Some cosmetics companies still test products on animals and use polluting manufacturing techniques. Beauty shouldn’t demand such sacrifices!
