Earth Day may have come and gone, but that’s no reason to stop
your efforts to “greenify” your living space. Believe it or not, even apartment
dwellers can find ways to live a green lifestyle without making major
modifications to their living space.
Don’t believe us? Here’s three simple tricks to use around your
apartment, courtesy of TLC Home, that help save water and energy:
●
Displace water in your toilet tank by getting a plastic
bottle, filling it with gravel, and placing it in your toilet tank. That’s it!
You can leave this for the next tenant so they can continue saving water as
well.
●
Use CFL Bulbs, which save a lot of energy,
whenever possible. (Also, turn off lights when you are not in the room. It’s
simple but effective!)
●
Pay attention to your fridge. Keep its compressor coils
clean to ensure your energy bill stays low and that you’re using as little
electricity as possible. Another thing you can do is line your fridge with
water jugs to keep it full and colder. It sounds silly, but it can save a lot
of energy!
That’s just three simple, easy tricks that save water and
energy. You can get more tips like this by clicking here: the original article listed 22 ideas for
