Interested in making more eco-conscious choices but need some help to begin?
For New Year's resolutions that will have an impact, consider some environmentally friendly changes at home. We have created a resolution generator that can help you begin taking small but important steps to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
Resolution 01
Every time a light bulb is out, I'll use an ENERGY STAR® LED without a doubt.
Generate a new ECO resolution
ENERGY STAR LED light bulbs are the stars of the home
- They consume 90% less energy compared to incandescent bulbs.
- They will also last 15 times as long.
When replacing old bulbs, make sure you recycle
- Take advantage of our recycling program, which kept 96,168 kg of light bulbs and fluorescent tube lights out of the landfill in 2019.
- The recycled materials are used to make industrial components, as well as new light bulbs.
Resolution 02
When the winter cold comes knocking, I'll keep it out with weatherstripping and caulking.
Generate a new ECO resolution
Weatherstripping works like a charm
- About 25% of a home's winter energy losses are caused by air infiltration.
- Do not paint over your weatherstripping, as this may damage its elasticity and efficiency.
Keep more cold air out with caulking
- Seal window frames with caulking to cut down on air infiltration.
- Only use caulks with the strict industry-standard SCAQMD seal to ensure that they are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Resolution 03
If I want to repaint my rooms, I'll avoid the VOC fumes.
Generate a new ECO resolution
Keep your lungs healthy
- The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paint can lower your indoor air quality and negatively impact your health.
- Many brands offer paint lines low in VOCs.
- The best guarantee for low-VOC paint are GREENSEAL or GREENGUARD certified products.
Jump on the recycling bandwagon
- Recycled paint is growing in popularity, and it is even less expensive than traditional paint.
- The production of recycled paint and stains uses less energy than the production of traditional paint.
Colors of the future
- In 2019, our recycling program ensured that 2,720,207 kg of paint did not end up in the landfill.
- Once recycled, old paint is used to produce new paint as well as paint additives
Resolution 04
When it's time for my old appliances to go, I'll choose ENERGY STAR®-certified products like a pro.
