How to make your home more eco-friendly in Dubai?

The current state of our world involves challenges such as climate change, global warming, pollution, and deforestation. Taking conscious steps towards safeguarding the environment can help contain these crises and preserve natural resources. To minimize your personal environmental impact, consider adopting eco-friendly practices within your home. Embrace your inner environmental steward with these ten simple methods to create a more eco-friendly living space.

REDUCE PAPER TOWEL USAGE FOR A GREENER HOME

Opt for cloth instead of tissues as part of your eco-friendly home practices. Swap out paper towels for more environmentally friendly options. The next time you encounter a counter stain, avoid reaching for a paper kitchen towel; instead, use cloth napkins, particularly in the kitchen. While cleaning cloth towels may take more time, it is a worthwhile step in making your home more environmentally friendly.

EMBRACE ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHTING FOR AN ECO-FRIENDLY HOME

When it comes to lighting your home, prioritize the use of LED or CFL bulbs. Despite being slightly more expensive than traditional bulbs, these alternatives emit only 10% of their energy as heat, making them more durable. In regions like Dubai, combating high temperatures for a significant part of the year makes investing in LED, CFL, and Halogen Incandescents a sensible choice for an eco-friendly home.

CHOOSE LOW-ENERGY APPLIANCES WHEN UPGRADING

Over 30% of energy bills stem from electrical appliances. Make a conscious choice to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle by upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, including washing machines and refrigerators. Inquire about the Energy Star Rating when purchasing new appliances to support green initiatives at home and save money on energy bills.

MINIMIZE PLASTIC USAGE IN THE KITCHEN TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Replace plastic containers with those made of steel, glass, or other reusable materials. Ditch plastic in favor of ceramics, glass, and steel for storing and cooking food. Additionally, transition from non-stick cookware to traditional materials like steel, aluminum, and cast iron for an eco-friendly home that benefits both the environment and your health.

REPURPOSE AND REUSE INSTEAD OF BUYING NEW

Before rushing to purchase new items, explore repurposing options for existing items. Empty coffee jars can serve as excellent containers for spices and powders, while steel biscuit tins can find a new purpose in baking cakes. Consider eco-friendly ways to refresh your home, such as transforming wooden doors into coffee tables, before opting for new furniture.

CONSERVE WATER TO PROMOTE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY HOME

Be mindful of water usage habits, such as running the tap while brushing your teeth. Focus on reducing water wastage to contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly home. Detect and fix leaks promptly, and choose showers over baths to conserve significant amounts of water.

WASH CLOTHES AT 30°C TO CONSERVE ELECTRICITY USAGE BY 40%

Opt for washing clothes at 30°C to minimize energy consumption. Unless dealing with stubborn stains or heavily soiled garments, this temperature setting is optimal for washing clothes and fostering a more sustainable home.

INVEST IN BAMBOO ALTERNATIVES FOR FURNITURE AND STORAGE

Choose bamboo products for furniture, bowls, plates, and storage solutions. Bamboo's rapid growth with minimal supervision makes it an ideal and eco-friendly material for various home items.

INSULATE YOUR HOME TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

In regions with warm climates like Dubai, consider the insulation of walls to combat external heat and enhance home comfort. This eco-friendly home design minimizes the need for excessive cooling and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint.

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG FOR AN ECO-FRIENDLY RESIDENCE

Adopt the practice of turning off and unplugging devices when not in use. This habit is not only an environmentally friendly home idea but also helps prevent potential catastrophes and electrical fire incidents.

TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS TOWARD AN ECO-FRIENDLY HOME

Consider incorporating green walls or exploring recycling initiatives to further enhance the eco-friendliness of your home. If purchasing a property in Dubai, explore options like installing solar panels through DEWA's Shams Initiative. Collective responsibility is key to preserving the environment, and these small steps contribute to a greener and brighter future.
