How To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint This Winter
November 12, 2018

Carbon Footprint

Keeping your carbon footprint low is very important no matter what time of the year it is. In the winter, people tend to use their heating a lot more often and this can increase energy bills and use up a lot more energy. In this article, we are going to give you some ideas on how you can reduce your carbon footprint this winter. Keep reading if you’d like to find out more.

Invest In Some Blankets

It can be very tempting to turn your heating right up when you come home from a long day of work in the winter, but this is something which you should avoid.A good way to avoid this is to invest in a lot of blankets that you can put over yourself in the winter. You can also get some hot water bottles that will heat you up and you won’t need to have your heating on as much.

Stick To Showers

Although in the winter you might find that you are very cold, you should make sure to stick to showers and avoid having baths. Baths can waste a lot of water and you could be a lot more environmentally friendly if you were to only take showers. Make sure that you only shower for how long you need to as long shows can waste a lot of water as well.

Insulate

Different materials hold in heat in different ways and this is why we need to use insulation. For example, steel is a material that works really well with insulation so if you have a steel building then you should think about investing in some insulation. The steel building company Armstrong Steel list this as one of the key benefits of using steel, highlighting the fact that they “can be insulated far better than wood frame buildings”. With better insulation, you can reduce your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time. Insulation is most important in the winter so don’t ignore this.

Unplug Your Appliances

You might find that in the winter you are using a lot more of your appliances because of all of the cooking that you are doing. Of course, you are free to use your appliances but when you aren’t, you should make sure to unplug them. You might be surprised to hear that appliances that aren’t in use still use up energyso by unplugging them, you are reducing your carbon footprint really easily.

Get Some New Curtains

Our final tip for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint this winter is to invest in some new curtains. Heavy curtains can help to keep the heat inside and it means that you won’t need to use as much of your heating. This will help to reduce your carbon footprint and you will be glad that you spent the time and the money getting some new curtains for your home.

If you are on a mission to reduce your carbon footprint this winter, then you need to be prepared. Get some new insulation, invest in some blankets and curtains and you should be fine.
