Recycle
The easiest and fastest way to make your home more environmentally-friendly is to recycle. Take things a step further. Instead of only recycling the basic stuff like your plastic and paper products, go beyond that. By doing a bit of research, you’ll quickly realize that many of the things you typically throw in your trash can instead be properly disposed of.
If you’re getting rid of old TVs or laptops, be sure to visit an electronics store and ask if they can recycle your items. If you have old clothes, donate them rather than throwing them in the trash. Try to eliminate the items that go in your trash as much as possible.
Invest in Solar Power
Solar panels are a true investment. Despite their cost, they are the best thing you can do for both your home and the environment. They positively impact the environment in various ways, but the most prominent one is by reducing greenhouse gases. Investing in solar panels for your home will make it more eco-friendly, but will also help lower your utility costs. It’s definitely a win-win situation for you and your home.
Use LED Lights
What kind of light bulbs are you currently using throughout your home? If they’re not LED lights, you’ll want to take some time to replace them with an environmentally-friendly option. LED lights are a great substitution to traditional lightbulbs because they use less power per unit of light emitted. In short, this reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. They also help lower your electric bill. Another W.
Start a Composting Bin
If your children are picky eaters, you know the struggle of food waste. How often do you serve your child a plate of fruit and veggies only for it to wind up in the trash or half-eaten? That can be a huge waste and disheartening for your eco-friendly efforts.
Don’t let this be the case anymore. Instead, start a composting bin. With a composting bin, you won’t have to feel bad about throwing food out, although you shouldn’t feel encouraged to do so either. But at least your food waste won’t end up in a landfill rotting away.
Organic waste, such as banana peels and other common food items, can be used to nurture your garden and lawn. With fall just getting started, now is the perfect time to start a composting bin so that you have your compost ready to go for your spring gardening.

The part where you mentioned that we can actually recycle a lot of things made me think of our old appliances. We have stored vacuums and ACs in our basement that aren’t working just because we don’t know how to properly get rid of them. Maybe I should look for companies that offer recycling options and see if they accept these appliances.
