As we celebrate World Environment Day on June 5th, we thought we would share some sustainable ways to practice eco-living!
We understand that everyone can’t afford solar panels or Energy Star appliances, but that shouldn’t stop us from making small eco-friendly changes in our home. It’s good for the planet, good for your home, and good for your budget!
Energy conservation is one of the most important things that we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. At a minimum, we all should be turning our appliances and powerboards off when we are not using them. This can apply to your lighting system as well. We have a few different options for you that can help you!
We also have multi-use powerboards that include USB chargers and power switches, so when you’re done using your electrical devices, you can switch off the entire power board to ensure you’re not continuing to use energy when it’s unnecessary.

Go Solar if you can!
Solar power systems are the cleanest you can get! They absorb pure energy from the sun which transmits to powering your home. They are a huge help when it comes to combating greenhouse gas emission. We have a range of multi-purpose lights, some of which include a remote solar panel. You can check out some of our solar options below:

Smart Lights!
A great way to control your entire lighting system. Having a smart home means you can double check if you forgot to turn the lights off when you’re rushing to get out of the house! You can control your lighting scheme remotely via your mobile phone and avoid wasting an entire day’s worth of energy! You can also set timers to turn devices off and on.

LED!
Why buy normal lights when you can buy energy-saving, customisable light bulbs? LED technology lasts up to 20 times more than an old incandescent bulb and they are eco-friendly! They will reduce your power consumption as well as your greenhouse gas emissions, and are 75% less energy than your halogen lights. You won’t need to replace them as often, which results in less waste!
We have a wide range of LED light bulbs and tubes which you can order online and we’ll deliver to your home!

Look after your electrical appliances
By cleaning, maintaining, and looking after your electrical goods (such as lights, laptop, phone, sound systems, and televisions) you can prolong their life. Repairing or fixing something is more environmentally friendly than simply throwing things away, although the latter may seem easier and cheaper sometimes. The more you save, the less you throw out.
Get a recycling bin & a compost bin
This will help you measure how much waste and non-reusable items you are using. If you’re filling up your recycling bin every single day, it’s time to consider more reusable options. A compost bin will not only help you get rid of leftovers but will provide you with free fertilizer for your plants! There are tidy compost bins available that are designed to be order free and help reduce household waste.
Maximise the natural light!
We’re blessed to be living in a country that is so rich in sunshine. If your home or office space has an abundance of natural light, utilise that! No need to have all the lights on in your home when it’s flooding with beautiful sunlight.
