What is sustainability?:
Sustainability is the avoidance of the depletion of
natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance.

Humans lack of knowledge and effort have been the main causes for the diminishing supply of natural resources that the Earth has to left offer to come ( FACTS). Therefore, it's our job to prepare for long term  and find ways to be more eco-friendly even down to the spaces we inhabit everyday. This is so that the Earth can stay livable beyond the lives of our great grandchildren.

Everyone has heard of recycling and most try to do their part; with that being said, my goal is to inform you on ways to be more eco-friendly in your home that may have not crossed your mind in the past. I want to use this platform to give you ideas that allow you to find what works best for you and your family in creating a daily routine that encourages sustainable living! 

To Get started... Here are some areas to consider evaluating in creating a sustainable household:

Your.....Building materials
Insulation
 Windows
 Heat, ventilation, air conditioning
 Lighting
 Appliances
Furniture

Through the next few months I will dive in deeper to each of these categories to show you that there are things that YOU can do to be a part of the solution.
Sustainability is more important now than ever. The Earth cannot keep
up with the way we have and are currently living. Most people do not realize how easy it can be to make their household more sustainable and this series will help give you the knowledge  to become more environmentally friendly home....ANNDDD some tips and tricks that will also save you money..... (it’s kind of a win, win if you ask me).
