Pollution from power plants and factories contribute greatly to the cause of pollution. However, these are not the only contributing factors to pollution. Houses are also a contributing factor to pollution. But homeowners can efficiently reduce the output of pollution of their homes. Now adapting a green lifestyle is more readily available than ever before, and single-handily one of the most effective ways to protect our environment. Residents can leave their green footprint on the world by reducing the amount of energy usage with these eco-friendly products.

Flooring

From the padding of the carpet that is made from Petro to the inability to reuse and recycle carpeting, thus ending up in a landfill, carpet flooring is the least green and eco-friendly of all flooring. Though there are options available on the market, just be sure to verify that there is a Green Label or Green Label Plus from the Carpet and Rug Institute. It is wise to research the type of flooring materials that will be used for your new flooring installation. Some of the most popular green flooring solutions are stone, bamboo, ceramic tile, and cork.

Lighting

The majority of electricity production is done so through the use of fossil fuels like coal and oil, which are significant sources of pollution. For this reason, electric conservation also includes a reduction in the amount of water and air pollution that is generated by power plants. Why not change those outdated light fixtures to a Hudson Valley energy-efficient chandelier? Not only is this an energy-efficient choice, but on-trend and elegant as well.

Faucets

Homeowners can preserve the environment while maintaining their sense of style. Eco-friendly faucets are the ideal way to go green in your home. Moen has one of the most extensive lines of environmentally friendly faucets for both the kitchen and bathroom. Their faucets are designed to the conservation of water while maintaining a high level of performance consumers have grown to expect from Moen. These designs incorporate leading technology without compromising the overall performance.
