You've probably already heard this one but it really could impact our planet if more of us did it, repurpose and reuse everything you can. Being able to create repurposed items in your home like furniture and woodwork will add unmatched custom features to your home. It will also fit into the popular styles of today.
Eco-friendly building materials, use them if you can find them. Procuring eco-friendly building materials is a little trickier today than it should be but if you do some research you may find that you can purchase some things locally. Backing up a step it's important to understand what's eco-friendly when it comes to building materials and what's not. Look for things made from recycled materials, pretty much anything created from recycled materials would be consider eco-friendly. Building materials made from renewable materials like bamboo and cork would be considered green friendly.
Finally, keep it non-toxic... We have so many toxic things around us in our homes and offices and they all usually end up buried in the Earth somewhere not too far away. Well that's after they may or may not have impacted our health. Indoor air quality can be five times worse than the air quality outside. The toxic things in our home probably have a lot to do with that, it's time to take a stand and go non-toxic! Whether it's flooring, paint, furniture, cabinets or even things like wallboard and countertops, non-toxic options are out there. They cost a little more but are well worth your health and peace of mind. Thanks for reading!
