Thus, they are not aware of things that they could do to improve the environment. But these are <strong>small things, tiny steps that wouldn\u2019t change that much of their lifestyle<\/strong> and that would seriously benefit our planet.<\/p>\n<p>For example, instead of buying, you could <strong>borrow and reuse items.<\/strong> Clothes, devices, furniture items and so on are all durable and would be easy to reuse. You don\u2019t have to buy new clothes for each child, but rather<strong> reuse the clothes your previous child wore.<\/strong> Then, you could buy second-hand furniture and second-hand clothes &#8211; this is cheaper and way more eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Each of us could do some simple things that make all the difference. While it\u2019s great to hear about eco initiatives, you could start your own, small one, within your own home or neighborhood. Start an <strong>organic neighborhood garden.<\/strong> No space? Window boxes and unused lots can be converted to natural gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Of course,<strong> governments and municipalities could make this easier for people<\/strong> if they made recycling easier and simpler for the residents. Most people feel like more could be done both in their own home and in their workplace but they also feel like the officials and companies could make this easier for them. Most <strong>people don\u2019t know where or how to recycle<\/strong> and don\u2019t understand how to change their life to turn it into a more eco-friendly one.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the ways you could live a more sustainable life:<\/p>\n<h2>1.

For one, you could get solar panels or another <strong>sustainable source of providing energy for your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These might cost a bit more at the outset but they are able to <strong>save you money in the long run<\/strong> and they will protect the environment.<\/p>\n<p>You should also<strong> learn to use power management features<\/strong> on your devices so that they save power during the night or when not in use. You can set this up in the office and at home. Always completely disconnect appliances and devices when not using them. Rather than attending meetings and commuting to the meeting place, it\u2019s better to start an initiative to <strong>hold meetings via Google Hangouts or other collaborative platforms.<\/strong> In the case this doesn\u2019t work, you can take a bus or a bike or simply walk instead of driving if you can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use eco-friendly appliances and devices<\/strong> &#8211; ones that conserve the energy and save you money as well. You should also get a smart home which can turn off devices and power sources when you are not home, to conserve the energy.<\/p>\n<p>Our planet definitely needs green tech. It can make a lot of difference and <strong>help us live a more sustainable lifestyle<\/strong>. Do the best you can to live green.<\/p>\n<p>What are some of your favorite green technology companies or practices?
