Do you see yourself making a difference in the world throughout your lifetime? Are you looking for some way to make a positive impact on the environment? Believe it or not, this all starts at home, with your day to day habits. Yes, simply by changing up your routine at your Portland apartments, you can make a difference on this earth. And what’s great is that once your visitors and guests see what you are doing, they may be influenced to make a change as well. If you’re interested in going green, here are some great pointers to get you started in your Portland apartments.

1. Make an effort not to make so much trash. This means to use real dishware instead of paper and plastic plates, forks, and spoons. It means being cognizant of how much toilet paper and tissue paper you go through every day. It means using dishtowels you can rewash instead of paper towels to keep the house clean.
2. Another fun way to go green is to get some small pots and begin to grow your own herbs, seasoning, and veggies in your house. This is relatively easy- something you can simply do some research on online or in-person at Home Depot or Lowe’s for you to have these things ready on demand to reduce gas by driving to the store. It’s also just fun and promotes healthy eating.
3. Use less water if possible, even if you cut your shower time by two minutes.
4. Be mindful of how much electricity you use.

The last two tips should help you out when it comes to saving some money on your utility bills. Can you think of other ways to go green in your apartments? Maybe all these tips seem overwhelming- so begin implementing them one at a time. It’s a great way to make a small difference in this world and do your part to help the environment!
