It’s time to nurture nature with an eco-friendly home life.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In our fast-paced modern world, where technology reigns supreme and convenience is king, it’s easy to lose touch with the natural rhythms of the earth. But as we become increasingly aware of the impact of our actions on the environment, many of us are turning towards eco-friendly living not just for the planet’s sake, but for our own well-being too. Let’s explore how adopting a more sustainable lifestyle can not only benefit the environment but also improve our sleep and energy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re renting a house in Philadelphia<\/a> or in San Francisco<\/a>, or scoping out apartments in Omaha<\/a>, eco-friendly living is just a few steps away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the connection: Sleep, energy, and the eco-friendly home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of our health and well-being, yet many of us struggle to get enough quality rest each night. Likewise, low energy levels have become a common complaint in our caffeine-fueled society. But what does this have to do with the environment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer lies in the intricate connection between our bodies and the world around us. Our sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm, is regulated by environmental cues such as light and temperature. When we disrupt these natural cues with artificial lights, electronic devices, and erratic schedules, we throw our circadian rhythm out of balance, leading to sleep disturbances and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, our energy levels are closely tied to our overall health and vitality, which in turn are influenced by the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the products we use. By prioritizing eco-friendly practices, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also create a healthier environment for ourselves to thrive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable sleep practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the first steps towards enhancing sleep and energy levels is to create a sleep-friendly environment. This means optimizing our surroundings to promote relaxation and restfulness. Here are some eco-friendly home tips to transform your bedroom into a sanctuary for sleep:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Natural materials<\/strong>: James Higgins, founder of Ethical Bedding<\/a>, shares material matters. “Mindful purchasing and consumption means researching the companies you buy from,” Higgins notes. “Always choose organic (and plastic-free) wherever possible even if this means spending more. Spending a little more on higher quality products that are built to last will pay off in the long run.”
    Following Higgins’s advice and choosing organic bedding made from materials such as cotton, bamboo, eucalyptus, silk, or linen, which are not only gentle on the environment but also breathable and comfortable for sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chemical-free products<\/strong>: Avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances in your bedroom cleaning products and personal care items. Opt for natural alternatives to reduce exposure to harmful toxins that can disrupt sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mindful lighting<\/strong> and energy usage<\/strong>: Embrace natural light during the day and minimize artificial light exposure at night, especially blue light from screens, which can interfere with melatonin production and disrupt sleep patterns. Eva, with Green With Less<\/a>, recommends mindfulness around energy usage along with lighting. “To improve sleep quality, make sure not to overheat your bedroom in the winter. You’ll get too hot, making falling asleep more difficult and increasing your likelihood of waking up at night. Plus, it will help save energy and reduce your electricity bill.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Indoor plants<\/strong>: Incorporate indoor plants into your bedroom decor to improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere. Plants such as lavender, jasmine, and snake plants are known for their sleep-promoting properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Energy-efficient appliances<\/strong>: Invest in energy-efficient appliances and electronics to reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact. Hsin, with Nanani World<\/a>, recommends this especially when it comes to lighting. “Switching to LED lighting from conventional incandescent bulbs can reduce energy consumption. LED bulbs last longer and are essential for lowering carbon emissions, which promotes environmental sustainability,” Hsin shares. Specifically, red LED lighting can enhance sleep quality and promote a quicker falling-asleep process, studies<\/a> have found.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Disconnect from screens<\/strong>: Power down electronic devices at least an hour before bedtime to allow your mind to unwind and prepare for sleep. Sharon Bonner with Bright Ideas Event Agency<\/a> shares her biggest wind-down tips. “No screen time 90 minutes before sleep and when sleeping, put devices in a Faraday bag to remove potential distraction,” Bonner shares.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Energize your day with sustainable living<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Beyond improving sleep quality, adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle can also boost your energy levels and overall well-being. Here are some ways to energize your day while reducing your environmental impact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Consider a plant-based diet<\/strong>: Incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Plant-based diets are not only environmentally sustainable but also rich in nutrients that can increase energy levels and support overall health.Caroline James, with Envirolineblog.com<\/a>, shares how to further make the most out of your meals. “Sometimes people think that being eco-friendly is more expensive. However, one of my favorite sustainable tips is to plan your meals and write a shopping list at the same time,” James explains. “Something as simple as writing a shopping list helps reduce food waste by assessing what you already have rather than impulse buying. Planning your meals also saves you money when you don’t overbuy and inevitably throw food away.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Stay hydrated<\/strong>: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and maintain optimal energy levels. Invest in a reusable water bottle to reduce plastic waste and minimize your carbon footprint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Re-read labels:<\/strong> A lot of household products are toxic and can negatively affect our health. Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff, former journalist and founder of Mommy Greenest<\/a>, explains the dangers of certain household items. “When it comes to air freshening and candles (and cleaners, for that matter), avoid artificial fragrances, which can contain hundreds of chemical ingredients including phthalates linked to hormone disruption,” Sarnoff warns. “Unless a label lists the components of what scents the product \u2014 such as essential oils\u2014then the word \u201cfragrance\u201d probably means it\u2019s artificial.

      Another household item to reconsider is non-stick pans. “[Non-stick pans] are coated with PFOAs that can be harmful to human health,” Sarnoff explains. “If you can\u2019t afford to overhaul your set, start with those that are scratched, which are more likely to leach these toxic chemicals into your food, and replace pans with metal versions that don\u2019t have a non-stick coating. You can have the pans sand-blasted down to a stainless steel base and either continue to use or recycle them.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Get moving outdoors<\/strong>: Take advantage of the natural world around you by engaging in outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, or gardening. Spending time in nature can reduce stress, increase energy levels, and foster a deeper connection to the environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Reduce, reuse, and recycle<\/strong>: Practice the three R’s of sustainability \u2014 reduce, reuse, and recycle \u2014 to minimize waste and conserve valuable resources. Valinda, founder of Green and Happy Mom<\/a>, explains that opting for what you already own is the most eco-friendly choice. “Why buy a stainless steel bottle if your trusty plastic one still serves its purpose? The same principle applies to food containers, bags, and more. When considering a new purchase, explore secondhand options first, ” Valinda concludes.

      “Not only does this reduce the demand for new resources, but it also helps you save some money.”       Emma Reed<\/a> suggests finding reusable alternatives first and investing in them. “Whether that be reusable wipes for the home, a reusable coffee cup you can take out with you, reusable nappies\/diapers for your baby, or beeswax wraps instead of clingfilm, there are many doable and handy options, Reed shares. “On top of being more environmentally friendly, they are also much kinder to your wallet too – it’s a win-win.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Eco-friendly home: Other ways to cultivate a green oasis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Incorporating eco-friendly practices into every aspect of your home life can have a significant impact on both the environment and your well-being. Here are some overarching green living tips to help you reduce your carbon footprint and create a more sustainable living space:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Simple swaps: <\/strong>Jennifer Young with What’s Good<\/a> suggests starting with swaps that impact your health first. “For example, your skin is your largest organ and absorbs 70% of what it comes in contact with \u2014 \u00a0your\u00a0feet absorb 100%!\u00a0\u00a0This means the first change is laundry, like clothing, sheets, and towels. Ditch the big plastic bottle laundry detergent and start using concentrated laundry strips<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0powders<\/a>,” Young shares. “Both are plastic- and liquid-free which hugely reduces fossil fuel consumption. Plus, there are no synthetic fragrances, dyes, or other harmful chemicals that might interrupt your endocrine system or aggravate your skin. You can further protect your health and save energy by using\u00a0dryer balls<\/a>\u00a0instead of dryer sheets or fabric softener.”Yalu Xu, with Momo Lifestyle<\/a>, echoes this sentiment that embracing eco-friendly living starts with reevaluating household essentials. “There’s room for sustainability in unexpected areas, like bath mats. Traditional fabric bath mats require weekly washes, using over 2,000 liters of water each year, ” Yalu Xu shares.

        “An innovative alternative is a product like Drytomita bath mat. Made from diatomaceous earth, these mats not only absorb and evaporate water quickly but also maintain their cleanliness and functionality like new for years, with simple sandpaper maintenance. It’s a testament to how sustainable choices can seamlessly integrate into, and enhance our daily lives.”

        Another simple swap, shared by Lamar with         BRoadout<\/a> is opting for reusable alternatives like cotton and choosing sustainable materials like bamboo. “Cotton and bamboo are both sustainable choices and both hold a pivotal role as one of our primary raw materials, featured in a wide array of products, Lamar explains. “Choosing sustainable cotton items for your home, like tents and chairs, or bamboo items like tables, is a thoughtful way to care for your loved ones and the environment.”

        Lastly, Alyssa Bola\u00f1os, founder and CEO of         Oh Eco<\/a>, reminds us not to feel pressure to make all the swaps at once. “My number one tip for living more sustainably is to use what you have, then<\/em>, get what you need – just the sustainable version,” Bola\u00f1os states. “As you run out of your household cleaners or items, swap them for a more sustainable version on your next shopping trip. So instead of a plastic toothbrush, switch to bamboo. Or instead of saran wrap, maybe reusable bowl covers or beeswax wraps. You don\u2019t have to change everything overnight.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Consider air purifying measures<\/strong>: Jen Stout, co-founder of Healthier Homes<\/a>, explains the importance of air purifying measures. “Adding a portable air filtration system with UV\/ion purification in your living and bedroom areas is well worth the investment,” Stout exclaims. “Something many don\u2019t think about either is paint \u2013 look for paints that seal the surface and are zero VOC, to add beauty and color to your space, while keeping the air condition pristine.” Houseplants can also help filter toxins, add oxygen to the air, and contribute to healthy sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Energy efficiency:<\/strong> Ecoclicky<\/a> support team encourages homeowners to consider renewable energy sources. “Install solar panels to harness solar energy, reducing reliance on non-renewable power sources,” the team shares. “For those unable to install panels, choosing energy providers that offer green energy plans can be a great alternative.” The team also advises upgrading to energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting. “This cuts down on electricity usage along with remembering to unplug devices when not in use,” the Ecoclicky team notes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        By incorporating these overall green living tips into your home, you can create a more eco-friendly environment that benefits both your health and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
