5 Ways To Boost Your Home’s Eco-Friendliness In The ‘Hybrid Office’ Era
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerIn recent years, there has been a significant
push towards encouraging the world to become more eco-friendly. By being
mindful of the environment, it is possible to reduce our carbon footprint, and
better protect the only planet we have.
There are many ways in which an individual can
live a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle. But what
changes in this direction might you make from the comfort of your own home, in the
emerging era of the ‘hybrid office’
What is the ‘hybrid office’?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have
had to transition to working from home. With hope increasing of a degree of
return to pre-pandemic ‘normality’, some of us are starting to head back to the
office, but might still find ourselves spending at least part of our working
week at home.
This is what is known as the ‘hybrid office’
model, and it could have major implications for your efforts to live a life
that is gentler on the planet.
Sure enough, there are various – both little and
large – changes you could realistically make to your home and lifestyle to
boost eco-friendliness.
Here are a few suggestions for how to do exactly
that – some of which can be accomplished with help from our Raynes Park,
Dorking and Brentford plumbers.
1. Swap to environmentally friendly shampoo
Adopting an environmentally friendly shampoo
that uses non-synthetic ingredients will help reduce the amount of chemicals
you wash down the drain and introduce back to the oceans. Not only this, but
natural, biodegradable ingredients may be likely to clog up your bathroom drain.
2. Replace your boiler
A faulty heating system can emit carbon
monoxide, posing an environmental and health hazard. If you are having problems
with your boiler, it is important to have it checked out – and potentially repaired or
replaced – by one of our expert Purley, Hampstead
or Brentford plumbers. Doing so will not only possibly save the environment and
your health, but also lower your energy bills.
3. Use electricity wisely
Only plug in devices when they need to be used,
and unplug them when you are finished. This is a very easy way to be aware of
and reduce your energy consumption.
4. Shop local
Try to support local companies wherever
possible, whether it’s for your groceries, clothes, or even plumbers. This will
reduce the amount of vehicle travel on the roads, and thereby help reduce the
amount of petrol fumes polluting the air.
5. Powerflush your central heating system
Powerflushing your systems removes
undesirable by-products from your pipes, pumps, and radiators, restoring
circulation and efficiency to your central heating. As this process improves
efficiency, you can expect a lower environmental impact and to drive down your
energy bills.
