The thing about these eco-friendly houses though, is that it takes time and money. So how can a working class citizen live in a greener home lifestyle without compromising too much their time and money?

One must remember the most basic way of leading an eco-friendly lifestyle which is to reduce, reuse and recycle.

  • Start small by reducing the use of products that could potentially harm the environment (e.g. hair sprays, plastic bags),
  • reusing objects that you would usually throw away and turning it into something new (e.g. paper coals, plastic bottles) and recycling your trash (e.g. build a compost pit).
  • One could also conserve energy and water via turning off the tap and switching off appliances when not in use.

Begin following these basic principles and one is on its way to leading a very healthy, productive and ecological friendly way of living.
