How to Live an Eco-Friendly Lifestyle in the City

It’s possible to be eco-conscious even when you’re living in the heart of a bustling city. To protect our future, we must take small steps and be mindful of our carbon footprint so our planet can last longer. In a premium condo like the 8@BT, here are five easy things you can do to help the environment.

Aim for Energy Efficiency

It will be very difficult, if not impossible not to use energy on a daily basis. After all, we use our smartphones and gadgets to work, play, and live. That said, you can take an active approach and use devices that use less electricity.

Conserve Water

Conserving water should be at the top of everyone’s list. After all, water is a finite resource and we must be wise about its consumption. Some of the things you can do is change the showerhead to a modern water-saving one, invest in a front-loading washing machine, and fixing leaks as soon as they spring up.

Eco-Shopping

Eco-conscious shopping is not just a buzzword, but a term that means you’re choosing products that contribute to the well-being of our world. Brands that use recyclable packaging or biodegradable materials are good, as are products that can be used for a longer time.

Sustainable Transportation

Consider traveling in a public transit rather than your own vehicle going to work to save on gas and smoke emission. On the other hand, if the distance is short then you can ride on a bicycle or jog to get there. As an alternative, you can share rides with fellow colleagues.

The Three R’s

The Three R’s are reduce, reuse, and recycle. It’s more than a phrase- it’s a way of life that you should practice on a daily basis, starting with waste reduction and segregation, and repurposing old items so they can be used again.
