What are some tips to reduce waste and save energy at home?

Additionally, have a simple list posted for all to see that invites all to participate in energy reduction. You might have a few of these on that list: 1) If you open it, close it; 2) If you turn it on, turn it off; 3) If you take it out, put it back; 4) If you make it dirty, clean it up; 5) If someone else in your household does not follow these rules, ask them to help you save time, money and energy. Say: "Hey, bro (or something like that) let's team up, OK? We can help out a lot here. Just remind me when I don't do these things and I'll improve, OK?"

Hace un tiempo, me di cuenta de la importancia de reducir el desperdicio y ahorrar energía en casa. Incluso, este es uno de mis temas principales a la hora de crear contenido. Una frase que me gusta es: No heredamos la tierra de nuestros padres, la tomamos prestada de nuestros hijos. Somos responsables de las condiciones en las que dejamos nuestro planeta cuando partimos.

Oh yes. No food is wasted. Instead, portioned out and stored in the fridge for another meal. Sometimes use these leftover for converting to a new dish. Especially rice for fried rice, meats for stir frying veggies etc etc. Composing is the other for my nature fitness zen. Nothing complicated. Just snip the fruits peels, vegetable trimmings, add egg shells and bury around my zen, for our urban gardening. Seeds from tomatoes and onions which are going to rot are planted as part of our growing our own foods. Another one we do is, harvesting rainwater which is used for washing our porch and watering plants. Sustainable development is what we strongly practice.

Also, use all that valuable compost to grow vegetables in the yard or on the balcony in growing boxes. Add a little soil purchased at a nursery or a big box store. Plant, nurture, eat and share.

Let me start with reduce waste - carry your own containers and bag when packing food and buying groceries, or shopping. I do this all the time. By doing so, you reduce waste by not bringing back the plastic bags, food containers and when I buy shoes, I don't bring the box either. I find it better also when warming up food from my own containers, which is handy. Reuse - I have reduced on buying clothes. I try to reuse, by mixing and matching what I have in my wardrobe, and buy only, when its necessary, for things like undergarments. Since I have also cut down on outings, there's no need to buy evening wears. Recyle: Bottles are reused for storing spices and anything I made at home, like sauces. I wash the bottles and keep.
