Provide a list of at least four examples that your family does to help conserve resources and demonstrate the act of reducing
1. We recycle a variety of items including paper, cardboard, plastics, and glass. We have designated bins in our home and make sure to properly sort each item before placing it in the appropriate bin.
2. We use energy-efficient appliances throughout our home. From our refrigerator to our washing machine, we ensure that all appliances are Energy Star certified and consume as little energy as possible.
3. We have reduced our water usage by installing low-flow showerheads and toilets. In addition, we avoid leaving the water running while brushing our teeth or doing dishes, and we make sure to fix any leaks in our home as soon as possible.
4. We try to buy locally sourced produce and products as much as possible to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and shipping. We also opt for products with minimal packaging or packaging that is compostable or recyclable.
