Here goes some of RESET ecological tips: 

• Use cleaner transport (don’t drive when there is an alternative! Walk, bike, or take public transport whenever possible; If you need a car make it a small as possible one and reduce the mileage; check your car regularly. Have your vehicle serviced regularly to keep the emission control systems operating at peak efficiency; avoid short airplane trips – take a bus or train instead).

• Add Energy-saving features to your home (Install energy-saving lamps in your home – but be sure to dispose of old bulbs safely; make sure your walls and ceilings are insulated, and consider double-pane windows. Explore green design features for your building, like passive solar heating, a rainwater catchment or greywater recycling system, and recycled materials; choose energy efficient appliances, including low flow shower heads, faucets, and toilets; use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning products – for your health and environment.; Keep the thermostat relatively low in winter and ease up on the air conditioning in summer; unplug your electronics when not in use.; dry your clothes outside whenever possible and run your laundry machine only when full; defrost your refrigerator and freezer regularly).

• Reduce your foods and goods footprint (shop at your local farmer’s market. Look for local, in-season foods that haven’t travelled long distances to reach you. Organic and other forms of low-input farming that use minimal or no pesticides and fertilisers – which are energy intensive in their manufacture – consume up to 40 per cent less energy, and support higher levels of wildlife on farms; choose foods with less packaging to reduce waste (check Jinja blog Zero Waste article); plant a garden as it will reduce all the energy and waste which normally goes into getting food from the field to our plates, such as transport, refrigeration and packaging; going meatless for just one meal a week can make a difference – vegetarians ecological footprint is estimated to be around half that of meat eaters; recycle all your paper, glass, aluminum, electronics and plastic; buy recycled products like recycling paper)

• Save water (take shorter, less frequent showers; run the dishwasher and the laundry machine only when full; plant drought-tolerant plants in your garden and yard; wash your car rarely and try taking it to a carwash where they use less water per wash than you would need at home; regularly look for and fix leaks at your home.
