When I heard that furniture and home decor company Arhaus was looking for a few ideas on greening homes, I thought about some of the things we've done at home and some of the things I've shared on the blog before. Arhaus has a partnership with American Forests that enables them to plant a tree for every purchase made during their storewide sale. And a commitment to planting trees is especially timely with International Day of Forests coming up on March 21! I appreciate when companies pledge to give back year-round.
In addition to these tips, some other ways to go greener at home are to:
- Furnish your home with a combination of sustainable items (like some of these tables from Arhaus) and secondhand, thrifted or family heirloom items.
- Switch out your current light bulbs with energy-saving LED bulbs.
- Donate or sell the things you no longer need or want, instead of just throwing them away.
- Repurpose stained or torn t-shirts as cleaning rags.
- Place a recycling bin next to your trash can inside your house, to make it as simple as possible to recycle.
What are some ways you've made your home more eco-friendly?
