Eco-Friendly Tenants

How Tenants can be eco friendly
1. Smart home meters – track the energy being used in the house, help reduce cost of living in respect of the bills as well as ensuring you’re not using unnecessarily excessive energy.
2. Recycling and using compostable/food bins – help reduce the waste going into landfill when a large amount of product/food can be reused or recycled into biofuel / fertiliser. Staying aware and having environmentally friendly mindset will help in reducing carbon footprint.
3. Any furniture which a tenant has with them when they move in will inevitably change over time so donating these ‘older’ appliances to charity shops etc will ensure they get reused and have a new life, instead of being sent to landfill.
