Ileana D’Cruz Instagram – #Repost @unitednations ・・・ This summer we’re reposting our Lazy Person’s Guide to Saving the World for those of you who missed it the first time round. Our second installment — Household Hero — looks at what you can do at home to help address climate change and help achieve the #GlobalGoals for Sustainable Development. Here are some ideas: Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of running a machine. If you do wash your clothes, make sure the load is full. Take short showers. Bathtubs require much more water than a 5-10 minute shower. Eat less meat, poultry, and fish. More resources are used to provide meat than plants. Freeze fresh produce and leftovers if you don’t have the chance to eat them before they go bad. Recycle paper, plastic, glass and aluminium to help keep landfills from growing. Plug air leaks in windows and doors to increase energy efficiency. Adjust your thermostat: lower in winter, higher in summer. Replace old appliances with energy efficient models and light bulbs. If you have the option, install solar panels in your house. This will also reduce your electricity bill! Get a rug. Carpets and rugs keep your house warm and your thermostat low. Don’t rinse. If you use a dishwasher, stop rinsing your plates before you run the machine. Stay tuned for the next level of planet-saving advice in the coming days! Image: #UnitedNations Social Media
