Eco Tips

Check out these 10 eco-tips to be more ‘green’.

1.

Choose Organic Cotton.
Cotton is the world’s most-sprayed crop, producing toxin run-off that contaminates nearby streams and rivers.
The chemicals used in sheep-dips for non-organic wool production are toxic and leak into the local water supply, as does the chlorine used for shrink-resistance treatments.
Wherever possible, try to look for organic wool or cotton products.
 
 

2.

Use Anti-Ultraviolet Film On Windows Exposed To Sunlight.
Apply anti-ultraviolet film to window glazing exposed to strong sunlight in Summer. This will help prevent your office becoming too hot and cut down on the demand for cooling systems.
 
 

3. Make Delicate Clothes Last Longer.

Handwash delicate clothes to extend life. 

 
 

4.

Use Rings Of Cardboard To Protect Seedlings.
Organic gardeners might use physical barriers such as small rings of cardboard to protect seedlings from cutworms.
 
 

5.

Use apps that plant trees when you shop.

Some apps redirect cashback into tree-planting or carbon offsetting with zero cost to you.
