If you want to take small steps toward sustainable living, try these simple suggestions:
- Caulk windows and doors
- Add or tune up your weather stripping
- Put an insulation blanket around your water heater
- Insulate plumbing pipes that are accessible to mitigate heat loss
- Add and use curtains during the day to limit solar heat gain
- Replace shower heads and faucets with low-flow fixtures
- Choose low VOC paints when sprucing up the house
- Have a licensed plumber perform a Residential Water Audit
- Repair all leaks: According to the USGS, one in every 318 homes in the US has a water leak. These leaks can account for as much as 20% or more of the home's monthly water consumption. Look for dripping faucets and spigots, as well as toilets that are constantly running or 'ghost-flushing'. These are big water and money wasters
