A FEW TIPS FOR A MORE ECO-RESPONSIBLE LIFESTYLE

Adopting tips for an eco-responsible lifestyle doesn't mean radically changing your life, but it does mean adapting your daily routine while becoming more aware of the impact our actions have on the environment. In this article, we'll give you some tips on how to consume "green".

Change your electricity and gas supplier: it's possible (and recommended!)

One of the best tips for eco-responsible living is to use LED bulbs at home. You can save up to 90%. Also, using connected bulbs makes it easier to manage lighting, and to remotely switch off the light in a room you've forgotten. And don't waste water. Small habits like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, or taking a shower instead of a bath can save you money. To reduce your impact on the environment, you can also lower the temperature of room heating. With independent or centralized heating, you'll save 10 to 20%. You can also change your gas and electricity supplier in favor of green offerings. Find out more on this site.

Choose an eco-responsible offer: total direct energy or enercoop?

Several suppliers, such as Total Direct Energie, Engie and Eni, offer green electricity. However, the big suppliers are still investing in nuclear power, and while their offers are financially attractive, the contracts of Direct Energie or EDF are not as eco-responsible as those of smaller suppliers like Enercoop or Planète Oui, who work with local producers.

Tips for a more environmentally-friendly everyday life

Adopting an eco-responsible lifestyle also involves food. You can experiment with vegetarianism from time to time. It's also a great way to try out different flavors. You can also promote local agriculture and make fewer unnecessary purchases to save real money. And don't forget to sort your waste!

At home, don't neglect insulation, opting for natural materials such as lime, clay or cork. This will also give your energy consumption a boost, as a well-insulated home avoids waste. Finally, other tips for an eco-responsible lifestyle can be put forward to limit your impact on the environment:

• ● Prefer an electronic cigarette to a conventional cigarette (no combustion, fewer toxic products, and therefore less polluting than a normal cigarette) ;
• ● Producing your own renewable energies;
• ● Choosing carbon-free mobility (cycling, walking...);
• ● Using natural products at home (it's a great opportunity to get into DIY!), etc.
