Carbon is one of the main cause that damages our environment. It leaves its footprints in our eco system for our future generations. If we need a healthy environment we have to cut the emission of carbon in our day to day life. So here are some of the important tips that can help to improve the carbon emission of your home. Most of the people living in condos, flats or apartments or even residences simply feel that it is next to impossible for them to cut their carbon emission due to the basic fact that they have to in fact share their place of living with a number of other people living around them.

But if you try to adopt certain rules and get other residents to involve with you a lot can practically be achieved without actually bringing about much of the drastic changes in your day to day life.

We feel the heat of the day but we have to keep in our mind that we have to keep the thermostat down in most of the communal areas. It may only create a difference in couple of degrees and can barely be felt especially when nobody likes to spend much of their day time in corridors and halls of the apartment. Try using most of the eco-friendly lightbulbs in your house and communal areas. Most of these bulbs are more convenient for long run as they last pretty longer as compared to conventional bulbs. Buying cheap quality bulbs may save your economy but certainly may strain up the environment.

Places like Gyms, laundry rooms, meeting rooms are generally unused for hours. So try to keep the lights off in these places when not in use especially during the day time. This may save a lot of carbon emission. Try dropping the temperatures at hot bath, spa baths and Jacuzzis to a few degrees. It may hardly bring any type of discomfort to you but it does make a massive difference in the energy consumption. Try using better cleaning products that are eco friendly. This certainly is bound to have a more positive impact on our environment. A number of cleaning companies are known to use more eco friendly cleaners so hiring them would certainly be more ethical.

Try to choose more sustainable materials when refurbishing your communal areas. Try using bamboo floorings in your homes as they are sustain ably hard and long lasting and very much comfortable. They are known to resist high traffic. The material also grows quick and requires less amount of water. It is also very much cheap as compared to any other wood. So instead of using wooden floorings try using bamboo floorings. They may give a real trendy look to your flooring.

Try recycling more of your waste products. You can get recycle bags so try to collect things that can in fact be recycled. You can always negotiate with your local authorities for more tips. Some of these changes can certainly be made. They may be costly to install at present but they certainly can save more energy for the future generations.
